Image transfers cont’d.
I used another image in the same way, transferring the laser prints onto heavy paper, trying to achieve an eroded quality.
I photographed the one I found most interesting, which I may use for a screen-print.
After transferring more images onto fabric I washed it to remove the residual bits of paper and instead of ironing the calico squares I decided their crumpled state enhanced the worn appearance.

Sigmar Polke
I have started looking at the work of Sigmar Polke, who was fascinated with the halftone dots of printed material, enlarging the images using a projector to scale them up on his canvas then painting them.
One of the issues with using found images from magazines is the relatively small size of the source material. I am considering ways of overcoming this limitation by re-photographing my collages and printing them out at a larger size or creating screen-prints at a larger size
