I’ve been referring to this in my work and using some pages in my practice, so I thought I should add it to the blog. It’s got the catchy title of “Dechanneling of 2 MeV Helium Ions in Gold“. This was completed in 1978 at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

Student Working Day
It was a nice opportunity to work together with fellow students, even if it was via Teams. I made a few composites, and it is good to keep at it.
Composites and Collages
Most of the work I’ll be doing in this MA will consist of composite or collage images made digitally or physically. In the first module they will all be digital. I’m scanning images of letters, photos and other objects and combining them digitally. I know a lot of techniques for doing the digital editing in… Continue reading Composites and Collages

Middle Row Composites
I will try to make some composites (nearly) every day even if they are not great, to get the ball rolling. Two scans from the middle drawer The Composites I like bits of each, so I may come back and work more on them.

Scanning ‘Pandora’s Box’
I decided, after some prodding by Michele (!), to plunge in and just start on something alongside the reading and writing. Tonight I scanned most of the objects, except personal letters, from the middle drawer of the storage chest of drawers containing the objects from Pandora’s box. How will I collate the personal letters? Just… Continue reading Scanning ‘Pandora’s Box’
