“I work with sheet silver, and copper with some small amounts of gold for detailing. The metal is pierced out, I will then apply textures or patterns to the surface using a rolling mill and templates. These components are then layered together and soldered. The pieces are finished with a mixture of matt, oxidised and polished surfaces to add depth and tone.” Becky Crow

Lapid created models of decaying houses from photographs found on the Internet of real broken down structures, then photographed the models.

It looks like she built three dimensional panels, attached the original photograph to each panel and then assembled the panels to create a 3D effect. Here are several pictures that should give you an idea of the actual process.

I like the concept – finding photos of the real thing then replicating the objects in the photo using your material of choice, then returning it to a photograph. It opens the door to many possibilities.

“The series Broken houses is based on photographs of abandoned structures neglected by man and destroyed by the weather. I find these photos on the web while pursuing an amateur photographer from North Dakota who obsessively documents the decaying process of these houses. His photographs are used to create small scale models. Afterward, in the studio, the models are photographed again, omitted from their background and placed in gray. Eventually these are digital pigment print size 30×36 cm (16”x18”).” From Lapid’s website

The DAM Archives Unlocked!

Many thanks to everyone who purchased an Archives membership last year. I hope you enjoy the thank you gift I sent to all members a few days ago.

P.S. Although all of the posts are now visible to everyone, I still have to remove a line of text/code from about 500 posts, so if you see a post with an odd sentence in the middle of it that’s why – thanks for your patience!

Maldonado first draws every dot, then applies the glaze to each dot one at a time – an arduous process that yields rich results.
