Christine Patterson (Knoxville 1961; lives and works in Knoxville) Swinging Bridge (Lawrence County, Middle Tennessee), 1994 Hand-colored photograph on paper 12 3/5 x 18 4/5 inches Knoxville Museum of Art, 1997 gift of the artist Christine Patterson recreates the emotional quality of a bygone era by extensively manipulating the photograph on paperic negative and print. Starting with infra-red film and adding filters, the original photo begins with an ethereal look. She may apply petroleum jelly to the filter to soften details. She retouches the negative to remove distracting elements. After printing the image on canvas textured paper, the print is toned a warm brown to resemble early photos. Then she applies color with watercolor on paper, oil on canvas paint, chalk, and colored pencil on paper. |
