Not to take anything from Stuart, but glowing gum prints are hardly new;
people have been printing glowing gum prints for quite a while. For a
couple of examples, Hamish Stewart's many-layered prints come to mind,
and there was a fellow in LA who did gum prints that looked like
Cibachromes, and I did some glowing gum prints myself earlier in my
career but it wasn't an aesthetic I found pleasing for my own work. I
figured if I wanted to make something that looked like Cibachromes I'd
print Cibachromes, it would be a whole lot less trouble.
