ACRYLIC GEL LIFT AND TRANSFER

Image
  “Small Windows” series by Brady Wilks 2012  The Acrylic gel is used to paint several thin and alternating layers into the inkjet print, which bonds with the ink.  Once the gel is dry. you remove the paper backing by soaking the print in water, and after removing it from the water and drying it (or slightly damp), it becomes a thin and delicate skin. This skin (ink intact) can then be stretched, folded, pinched, ripped, burnt or any number of techniques while applying it to a new substrate giving the artist more control over the aesthetic outcome.  This process makes the photos more unique and "older looking." http://bradywilks.com/process/index.php

Then, I added purple tints and moved the saturation all the way up. Leading Lines: While this photo is arguably not a leading li...
