From 1959 to 1965, Wynn Bullock created amazing abstract color images on 35mm Kodachrome slides. The process, which he developed himself, involved complex multi-layered colored glass and objects, plus the creative and subtle use of depth of field.

👀 lots of folks QT'ing to say: women — submit your manuscripts! I think what has to come first is: universities, fix your gendered service and teaching inequities, and society, balance out your care work, so women *have time* to write the damn manuscripts. So many women colleagues are BURNT OUT.

Large sheet of just pulled paper laid out on a faded pink towel and white interfacing. The paper has a colour gradient from ochre on the left to sea green on the right. There are darker blotches of yellow in the middle.
Two sheets of hand pulled paper laid out on a sheet of interfacing. The papers are made with longer kozo fibres, and both have a subtle green gradient on one edge.
Five sheets of hand made papers of various sizes drying on a window. All have natural kozo fibre bases, and are layered with green cotton of different shapes to give a gradient effect.
Our 6th and final paper making workshop at the Institute of Making, UCL East - using leftover kozo, cotton and sisal from previous sessions, and pulling one massive sheet between three of us. Thanks to artist Mandy Brannan for a wonderful course!

Mixed handmade papers drying on a window. The papers range in colour from soft white to pinkish orange. Some have yellow splodges, others are flecked with orange-red fibres.
Mixed handmade papers drying on a window. The papers are a very pale pinkish orange. All are flecked with orange-red fibres, and layered with yellow pigmented cotton in sections.
Paper making masterclass with Mandy Brannan, week 5 - experimentation with mixed fibres and techniques. The images show mixed papers made with kozo and pigmented cotton using the Japanese method. I’m excited the translucency of the kozo, and the escaping yellow fibres.
