Alternative Processes: Acrylic Gel

Assignment #12:



This was actually my second attempt at an acrylic gel print, but I lost my first one.  I was afraid that this one wouldn't work out because of the colour ink and the type of printer, but thankfully it did.   This picture is important to me because it was one of the first pictures I ever took with my old camera (which was new at the time).  I was at a farm and this dog just ran up to me and was so happy and excited, so I looked down and took a picture of her.  The shininess in the eyes reflect just the pure happiness that dogs feel when meeting a new person.  I love being able to mold and shape the acrylic gel is fun and functional, making the photo really come to life.
