  I did put this in view so that I could consider where it might go but it didn't sit right with the context of the exbibition - detailed in report.

Grouping and playing with veil over a painted cyanotype         Tested 5 edits of film and happy with how the final operates. Really happy with the shadows..      painting and cyanotypes up checking from outside     Lighting..              text! tested spacing, pencilled out, painted in and removed pencil marks.            Kept in coms with rest of the exhibition artists to support :)
