The process:
A more detailed description of what’s involved in the creative process.
Claire uses everyday substances found around the house to create beautiful images.
She mixes and dries the solutions on glass slides, often 20 at a time, which are then viewed under the microscope at x40 magnification.
Polarisers are applied between the slide and the microscope to create the colours you see. Until that point, she has no idea if she will find a usable image and what it will look like.
The orientation of the polarisers, and the different substances used, influence what the final image will look like, which is why there is so much variation in the images produced.
