‘Salt’ by Abigail O’Brien

Abigail O'Brien was working with us recently in The Copper House, preparing pieces from her 'Salt Fields' collection for an exhibition in Portugal. Her photographic art pieces were produced using a process called 'Liquid Acrylic Mounting' by Mark Paisley and Dorje DeBurgh.

We had fun making a video and here it is - The Making of "Salt Fields' by Abigail O'Brien. It shows some of the steps in the complicated process from attaching the print, to Abigail inspecting and signing. All of Abigail's liquid acrylic prints were produced here in The Copper House.
