Taking a new workshop called, New Images from Old: Film Negative Interventions. Sponsored by and taught by and , we are learning ways to work with analog film as material. This past week we learned about overlay, collage with proximity, masking, as well as cutout and collage. Working with old Kodachrome slides of Butte, Montana from 2000, I employed various techniques using images of mining and extraction as well as one image in which I combined an image from the Big Hole Battlefield Memorial near Wisdom, Montana, with an image of mining from Butte. Creatively speaking, I went backwards to move forwards, destroyed something to reimagine it. This was a was a lot of fun, and I look forward to trying it again in the future.
