Photography- M.I.M.
Why?
After I began making my negatives in my last stage. I now trialed water, ink oil photograms and I decided to create my own handmade negatives using acrylic paint, water and acetate.

Oil, Ink, Water, Test Strips
I created these by placing a bowl of water over the paper and then adding oil and ink droplets using a pipette. Finally I'd let the light pass through.

How?
I created small (yet still varying in sizes) circles on acetate using watered down acrylic paint, I trailed ink but I didn't like them. I let them dry and then used them as handmade negatives in the enlarger.
Test Strips
I used my handmade negatives to create my test strips.
Handmade Negatives
I made my own negatives using black acrylic paint mixed with water , using a paint brush I painted small circles onto small squares of acetate. I then used them in the enlarger yet I couldn't get the focus I wanted so I don't like these very much and decided to try again.
Refined Test Strip
After refining the focus on the enlarger I found much clearer outcomes.
Large Scale Practice
These were larger images which were more defined, yet still weren't my favourites.
Selected Photograms
I selected these photograms as they were my favourites because they're large images with clear lines which look like land formations. I put them into circle sliders to emulate the 'cell series' by Tambellini.
"Land Formation" Edits
I created these by inverting the selected photograms and then levelling them.
