A companion series to the themes in ‘senseless’ and also ‘pi’, the foundlings in ‘forced’, comment upon my methodological process and provide another take on data compression &/or loss. Technically executed similar to ‘senseless’, in aiming to instill a patina of process and creation, coupled with the compression of information that occurs in the translation of the analog to the digital, only the structure of the digital pixel is available for this translation to occur…a forcing of information into this small non-existent medium, in where the foundlings now view the world only via this small square window, while all the other data/information {the patina of creating & process, their cropped facial features, their clothing and background} is presented on differing textural layers and remain lost &/or discarded around the vessel which is the digital pixel.
_process
please note…as the Golden digital ground or InkAid pre coats are not stable when layering prints, it is imperative to seal of each printed layer with a (good quality) picture varnish before reapplying your Golden digital grounds or InkAid pre coats. The white matte pre coat (Golden or InkAid) is stable but becomes semi-transparent when layered with another ground or water.
