definitely not a hand, whatever it is. Like that guy doesn't even have an arm, what am I gonna do with this!
printmaking experiment. photographic decalcomania. A photograph crushed in a printing press. The result is a very weird stone-like apparition, quite craggy and rocky on top, but textured with impossible black rivulets and wrinkles.
printmaking experiment. decalcomania. a photograph printed on the wrong material, on plastic, then forced through a printing press. The result is an explosion of patterns and colours. It's part of my collection of stone-looking things, though this one is very far gone. very deteriorated.
a small thing on a big dark field. very strange. could charitably be referred to as looking like a small white stone. I mean, what else could it be right?
This one's different again. A white and brown stone-shaped thing, riddled with strange dark tributaries, lies in a muddy brown and blue field. The whole gravity and physics of the scene is questionable: Unreal. Experimental printmaking. Photographic decalcomania. 🪨
stone-like form in a dark, moss-like field. the result of my own private little printmaking experiment. One of a long series of white stones. This one looks broken; smashed on one side. quite nice I think ♥️
colourful, very texturally detailed artwork which almost depicts a scene of two white rocks in a brown-geeen soup of slime. The secret truth is, this image was generated by crushing a photograph in a printing press. it's weird printmaking
An ink-based artwork depicting a small mossy white stone in a natural looking bed of black-green goop. a photographic printmaking experiment.
#printmaking experiment. It looks like an egg-shaped white stone in the dirty mossy ground. The moss and dirt, as always, is strange looking. It teams with coral-like nodules and growths. A similar technique was used by surrealist painter max ernst to generate odd environments, except I use an improperly printed photograph and an Albion printing press where he used oil paint and a sheet of glass.
An anomaly for this early on in the "strange stones" series. A very weird and unreal image. What might have been a smooth white stone is being dissolved and invaded by wet rainbow growths. This was an image generated physically by an experimental photographic printmaking process, akin to decalcomania. shout-out Jungkook.
Large, white, irregular stone, weirdly smooth, lying in a wet and spongy bed of moss or algae, or something green and slimy and growing. Unreal. Experimental photographic printmaking. Figurative decalcomania.
This one's particularly weird. An unreal stone-like entity exists in an earthy field of mud-like and moss-like stuff. That's as certain as things get around here. Unlike the other stones so far in this series, this one's surface is not smooth and white, but instead is a twisted, fractal, green root-like texture. It all started as #photography, but then I did some #printmaking to it. Or, at least, I used a printing press to explode the original photo anyway.
a white, shield-shaped stone lies in a field of green and orange growths. it's surrounded by other stoney anomalies. it's all very odd looking. The result of experimental photographic printmaking, in which a landscape photo is printed on plastic and obliterated in an Albion press.
A large, wide, lumpy stone sits lodged in a shallow bed of unusually dark green moss-like goop. This composition was generated semi-randomly in a printmaking experiment in which a liquidated photograph was compressed in a printing press, obliterating the original image.
Large, wide, smooth white stone, surrounded by green and brown goop. 'least that's what it looks like; the reality of the scene is kinda vague, as always.
what appears to be a small white stone surrounded by green and orange mossy-stuff. below the white stone, a large green stone looms. we'll see it much later. a printmaking experiment.
Extra-weird shaped white stone, lying in a familiar field of green something. This one is Miriam's favourite.
One of my series of strange stones. this one's almost egg-shaped, and lying in a particularly sloppy bed of abstract green gloop. Decalcomania; Epson printer ink compressed onto yupo paper.
A small, chunky stone, surrounded by green and orange mossy forms. The medium is decalcomania, printed in an Albion printing press.
An unusual image. New-printmaking. Inkjet transfer. In the image, green, algae-like forms surround a smooth white "stone" with a notch in the top end, almost like a natural hand-hold. Technically the image is photographic, like a polaroid emulsion transfer, but the original photo (the tuffty weeds I posted earlier) was crushed in an Albion moveable type printing press against a sheet of Yupo paper to "generate" this new composition. Don't tell anyone though, I'm pretending they're stones I found.
Colour photograph of weeds in a ditch. The ground around the ditch is broken and strange. Dandelion flowers grow. This is a very very important photograph for me.
A black and white photo of a crow in a scraggly tree planted on the edge of Reid Highway.
A series of 4 colour photographs taken from the edge of a weedy, sandy, messy field, with views of the houses that surround it.
Colour photograph of a big billboard poking over the grey perimeter wall of a housing development. the sky is light blue and full of beautiful clouds. It's #photography from #Perth australia.
A photograph of some trees and a metal handrail shot through a thick, olive-green painted concrete window. The shot was taken The Valley of The Giants in Denmark Western Australia. It's #photography, baby!
The same photo, but with a black pattern overlaid, which breaks it.
A photograph of two ficus trees in the carpark behind Spotlight in Midland WA, taken eight minutes after midnight. The trees are lit by a streetlight. A sign reading "To Clayton Street" is partially obscured by foliage. My Canon 6D recorded the photo as having been taken on Thursday, but of course I set out on this excursion on Wednesday night, so this still feels like a Wednesday photo to me.
Printer ink decalcomania, A corrally, nobbly, rocky protrusion. I think I remember showing this to my sister and she didn't like it. Looking back, I kinda like it though. I should go back to it and play more.
Speeks for itself, I think. A photograph of nothing, printed wet and crushed. Decalcomania.
Reduction lino print of a naked guy. Black and pink on rice paper. This is tge AP, sitting on a drying rack.
Ink-jet decalcomania. The image looks kinda like a bumoy cave wall or something.
An ink transfer print (decalcomania) on 6 tall 100gsm litho-paper panels, pinned to the wall in a vitrine...
Some scribbly texter drawings on my fridge
A cross section of a worm or fungus, or tree? It's either gigantic or tiny, and it's rooted into a gross hillside like a tooth in a jaw. The night sky is black, and filled with stars or dirt. The medium is 'new-printmaking', which means I made this by compressing ink. I did it in a printing press though so its legit ✌️

A constellation-hang of colourful, block-mounted prints in a dark hallway.
What is this? A smooth formation of rocks? A cavern wall? A field of pinnacles seen from a hilltop maybe.
Block-mounted ink-jet transfer. Almost but not quite A3 size. Shows a black gash cut through a dark landscape of colourful little pinnacles. Looks cool. Behind the print is the bucket I keep my paintbrushes in. It has happy easter written all over it. Used to have easter eggs in it.
The old twitter like button from when it was stars and not hearts
Close up shots of the running ink I use in my photographic transfer process.
