thanks Sam .. I suspect Galina may be the world's authority on photo on
ceramic. If anyone within earshot has grant funds -- SHE should write the
book!
Post-Factory #5 in an article titled "Galina Manikova, Nordic-Russian
Goddess," shows among other things her 170 cm long cyanotype on a stone
slab. (Quick, how long is 170 cm, do you think I know? Just kidding,
probably life size???)
There are also her tech notes for photographs on glass or ceramics,
cyanotype on ceramic, and some formulas. At the end she says, "other
methods include dusting on, carbon, silkscreen and photo resist. [However}
most books I've found are not reliable and not correct."
I'll add that there's an EXTREMELY interesting-looking show at John
Stevenson gallery, 338 W 23 ST, NYC until May 15 -- and images can be seen
at www.johnstevenson-gallery.com. John Yang photographed the "sepulchral
portraits" from Mount Zion cemetery in Maspeth Queens and printed them in
pop. These are photographs, "called 'enamels' in their day" (I assume
carbon prints) fired onto porcelain or metal tablets. I'm not sure that
they would be so gorgeous if not aged... but wonderfully wonderful in the
announcement.
