Nolangrams #1, #2 + #3

So Nolan Preece has been working with these for years and he recently got an article published in Photo Technique and I am totally intrigued by these. I took an 8×10 sheet of glass, used a kerosene tiki torch and coated the glass with the black soot. I then used mineral spirits to create the splotches. One of them was made with a brush filled with the mineral spirits and using the Jackson Pollock technique, I dripped and splattered it on. The other was more of a pour. I then scanned them on my Epson V750. I’m thinking of printing photographs on vellum and using these glass plates to “sandwich” the vellum negatives to create interesting portraits….stay tuned
