DESCRIPTION
This work was inspired by Rene Magritte's surrealist painting 'The Treachery Of Images.'
TECHNIQUE
Ceci N'est Pas Une Pipe was created by photographing a hand-cut collage of vintage portraiture, planets, butterflies and botanicals. The large scale digital negative was then contact printed onto paper that had been hand-brushed with chemicals, before drying in a dark room. Once exposed to light, the piece was washed to develop a cyan blue colour, dried and then hand finished with 24ct gold leaf.
