As might by now be expected from us, the next step in our process was to take the 7 x 10 inch mixed media paintings back to the digital realm, i.e. the scanner/copier/printer. However, this time we changed it up a bit by not preserving a digital image file of each scan, instead we just made color copies onto standard sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 inch, 98 bright, 22 lb printer paper. What we did do was enlarge the image in the scanner to fit the larger sheet of paper.

The next step was back to me, although, now and again both Franzi and Petra gave their opinions on how I was laying out the fragments I had cut the printouts into with my #11 x-acto knife blade onto sheets of 11 x 14 inch Bristol paper.

Our intention was to go bigger by adding more space between the fragments of the original (sic) images and then see how the new forms, both those created out of the previous ones and the surrounding spaces, developed.

Here are some images of what resulted after gluing down. Photos are taken on a cloudy morning, by natural light on the wall in the greenhouse.
