Old Joy

I enjoy leaving my husband behind, and visiting antique stores when I travel. There's always a found object, or a historic photograph that I can combine into a new piece of art. A child's joy always makes me smile, and the tintype transfer works perfect with the old image.

Pigment Ink Transfer to aged aluminum

Unique Edition: This is a unique edition – each new, signed piece of fine art is hand made and will vary slightly.

About the process:

My work begins with a photograph taken on my travels as I explore the world. I work with them to create a digital collage, then print using a special process that allows me to transfer the image to another surface that I've also hand-made. For more information about the processes, including information on upcoming workshops, please see my website: www.carrielhotka.com, or www.dassart.com.

Please note: Due to variances in how monitors and mobile devices are calibrated, the color you see may vary slightly from the actual work.
