I think a lot of my photographs are pretty simple, and I've been critiqued for that in the past. But, in this case, it actually works in my favour, when printing on bubble wrap, less is more - keeping the image simple lets the texture and material do their thing without overpowering the photo.
UV printing is super new for me - I've only been experimenting in this way for a little over a year. I keep coming back to it because there's still so much to explore!
To make a UV print, you need to determine the highest point of the material you're working with. The printhead then consistently sprays ink at that elevation throughout the print. In my work, this means that the details of the image are rendered sharply on top of the bubbles, as they are closer to the print head, while the areas between the bubbles become blurry or completely obscured.
Facing a lot of trial and error with these highly 'sensitive' machines, Rosie has discovered that there is no exact way to control exactly where the details of an image will fall on a surface like bubble wrap, and that is part of the magic of the process.
