TECHNIQUE
Give Me Wings was created by photographing a hand-cut collage of vintage portraiture and illustrations of butterflies and moths . The 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.
