Although I have used photographs as collage elements in the past, I did not consider it a primary medium until I discovered the possibilities of photo transfers. By making photo enlargements of my slides on special Polaroid papers, I can create in a new language. The photograph is soaked until the gelatin emulsion, which holds the dyes, can be lifted off of the photographic paper. The gelatin emulsion is then transferred to watercolor paper and collaged with additional images. Color can be added to the images during the enlarging process with the use of filters or with acrylic paint after the emulsion has been adhered and dried.
