Hi Mark,
Could you please keep us appraised of your results. Are you
using an
emulsion that you use for making dry glass plates, or is
Liquid Light
something different? Are you using gelatin to enable the
emulsion to
adhere to the canvas as you would if preparing a glass
plate negative.
I've worked something out on paper but I haven't
had a chance to try it
out yet. I bought canvas that was already stretched on a
12"x12" wooden
frame. I've already applied the Gesso, which is that
white stuff you
coat a canvas with to stop the paint from leaking through
the canvas.
I'm wondering if Liquid Light needs the Gesso or can be
applied to the
raw canvas directly. Do you use gelatin for the emulsion
to adhere? One
problem I foresee is putting the stretched canvas into the
developer.
The developer gets into the wood; will the stop penetrate
and stop the
developper action. Then the fixer, again, absorption by
the wood. I
don't know how the wood is going to react, will the
chemicals wash out?
There are two elements that have I have to take into
consideration,
the canvas and the wood. A regular paper print doesn't
need a support.
Maybe you can try using the canvas without stretching.
Anyway, it's an interesting idea worth pursuing. Keep
us posted, or me
at least. I want to try the same thing with "rice
paper".
Cheers,
Bogdan

Well I am getting in the experimenting mood again.
FINALLY The latest idea is a bit different for me.
Instead of using photo paper, the idea is to use Liquid
Light to create an emulsion on different types of
materials. The particular idea I'm first to try is
instead of using a digital inkjet print on canvas, why not
put an emulsion on artist canvas and make a wet black and
white print that way.
Lots of things could be used, but I've never heard
of this being done and it sounds like it might be a neat
effect.
