The lake
Is it photography, is it something else? The starting point is photographic, its execution is typical of pictorialist photography: the application of vignetting, the reference to the lexicon of pinhole photography, the use of a reduced chromatic scale. But the digital interventions, the wooden base, the coloristic intervention through the choice and use of waxes and resins, the structuring of the surfaces with hot irons lose the indexical value typical of photography and open up to something else. We are on the thin border between index and icon. The use of wood, image transfer, waxes and resins actually brings us into the realm of mixed media, into the world of encaustic photography.
