Lumiere And Sons

Lumiere And Sons

 An original shot of a doll, then the human eyes and surrounding eyebrows and skin cut out and the edges torn to remove cut lines and the backs sanded to leave the thinnest of edges. Fixed in position with Columbia Cement and then a copy print made. By careful bleaching away any dark areas and using watered down photo dye, the eyes are made to look as though they are actually real in the doll.
