This was a left over space in my art journal, and is in answer to Shimelle’s challenge towards HOME. It was around Week 3, so I’m just a little late, and haven’t done any for many weeks either. My original home entries were more than a little sombre, and involved dripping blood out of a manekin assemble. This one has been in my mind for many weeks now, I’ve even had the photographs of my neighbourhood ready for quite some time. I just needed to get around to doing it.

Techniques - photographs of doors printed out onto photo paper in black and white, stuck down. The same photos were also printed onto inkjet transparencies which were overlaid on the black and white images, very slightly offset. The scan doesn’t show the slightly halo effect that exists in real life. White ink used on alphabet stamps for the journaling - why? Because white gel pens no longer exist in this world.

I am intrigued by the thought that doors are actually portals into someone’s world.
