Message: [QUOTE="jaberg, post: 1372695, member: 73785"] I’ve been playing around with Toner Transfers onto canvas. (And wood.) The process lends itself to [I]Americana[/I], so several of these pieces have a tractor theme. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Minneapolis Stroll (Toner Transfer on Canvas).jpg"]515399[/ATTACH] [I][SIZE=1]Minneapolis Stroll[/SIZE][/I] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Case, Threshing.jpg"]515401[/ATTACH] [I][SIZE=1]Case, Threshing[/SIZE][/I] This is an excerpt from the artist statement for an upcoming gallery show which includes [I]Threshing[/I]. [FONT=book antiqua][I]Threshing[/I] was captured at the 2023 Le Sueur County Pioneer Power Show. The scene, a steam powered Case traction engine driving a threshing machine through a power take-off belt, speaks to engineering, ingenuity, and the labor of cultivation. And the history of all that. The final piece is a one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted toner transfer on canvas, combining historical subject matter with a tactile, analog process. [B]About the Process[/B] This image was created using a hand-done toner transfer process. Printed with a color laser printer, the image is transferred onto canvas using an acrylic transfer media, then careful hand-burnishing and finished. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, with natural imperfections—gaps, texture, and irregularities—that make the process as visible as the subject. The result is both image and artifact, a tactile interpretation that echoes the craftsmanship at the heart of the scene it depicts. An analog finish to a digital capture.[/FONT] Both of the original images were captured using the Fujifilm X100V | WCL-X100 II. The art copies were also made using that camera. [/QUOTE]
