Spring 2011: Alcohol Gel Transfer Prints

This is a series of five 8" x 10.5" (20 cm x 26.5 cm) prints created for my Digital Printmaking class. They were made by transferring images on transparencies from an inkjet printer by hand onto paper soaked in hand sanitizer. Watercolor pencil was added to the transparencies and other areas were distressed with sandpaper before printing. The photos in this series are from the protest on March 5, 2011 in Madison, Wisconsin, against Governor Scott Walker's union-busting Budget Repair Bill.
