Referencing an ex-boyfriend left in California, Half of This is Everything You Taught Me both credits the person who introduced me to alternative photography and serves as a reminder that I’ve learned much more in the years since our relationship ended. This series combines cyanotype, chine collé, drypoint, and etching. Layering in the final works combine traditional methods of etching and contact printing with laser engraving, to engineer an illusory effect that depicts two layers as three.
