ACRYLIC GEL LIFT AND TRANSFER
“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
