Last night I had an idea to inverse a section of one of my recent journal entries, many of which are white on black, producing a negative effect. I often accidentally press ‘command i’ (invert) instead of ‘option command i’ (resize image); the effect of which, although always undone, is quite pleasing. To me, a negative print is very mysterious and magical. So I thought, why not try it the other way around, take the mystery out of my drawing? See what it looks like ‘in real life’, extract the fact from the fantasy. So I did.
I don’t know. Yawn?
this is the original, white on black, negative effect
although i feel like i’ve uncovered a hidden message by inverting the image, i fear the mystery is gone
