Forgotten and Found

Basic idea is simple. Image is transferred on an object found at the place where image is/was taken. Subject is infrastucture around us that we need to survive.

Depending on objects found project may move to surprising directions.
Image was taken two years ago at foggy day. Muffler was there cover in black plastic bag. It hadn't dropped of a car, someone had left it there intentionally. Image is 22 by 33 cm.
Another old image. Tower in the middle of the roundabout doesn't exist anymore. Image was transferred to a piece of thick paint used to mark pedestrian crossings. Image is A4 size (21 by 30 cm)
Object is a broken LCD panel that I found lying in grass. Image is A4 sized and there is a layer of gesso mixed with gel medium to give reflecting white surface under trasferred image. LCD panel was glued to a measured cut cardboard. Framing should be fairly simple.
I realised after this work that theme doesn't apply here. It's more about relating the image with the object. It should make things a bit easier, maybe.
Object is a metallic cover from a lamp post. Image size is 14 by 42 cm. There's a thin layer of gesso to give some white.
