Re: some of my gum prints online...

Carmen
Your gums are gorgeous in technique AND in content and beauty. Thanks for
sharing them, can't wait to see more. I especially like the couch image and
the way the couch sort of glows.

Is the backlit film you use the white stuff? It must come big, huh?

How long does it take to do one of your gums in days?

I love your rich and deep color choices too and your use of space. They are
very emotive. Aside from the fact that the work has a timely content with
the immigration issues going on today (my son, btw, is an immigration lawyer
in Minneapolis).

I used glut for the hardener this semester and there was a possible glut
sensitivity in one student of 15. Thanks for sharing that--I am keeping
numerical tabs on sensitivity issues for my own personal interest. Are you
sensitive to formaldehyde, too?
