I invested in a polaroid camera and started taking images of my close ones. When using the camera I started experimenting with levels of exposure, when an image is made lighter or darker, using the flash, moving the camera whilst doing that. I use the image of my grandmother to make a painting on aluminium, but also taking from previous experiments of painting on Lino prints.
I used a painting that I had made previously to work on top of, layering images and colours. I enjoyed the surface, the slippery-ness of it allowed me to overlay and play with levels of transparency. In the future I aim for the figurative aspect to be more present.
