Acceptance
by Dale Copeland
14.5 X 26 X 2 cm
collage of photographs and flakes of mica, in wooden tray

I used to do a lot of weird photography. I took a self-portait in a mirror with a bevelled edge, then partially solarised it in my home darkroom. It was all such a lot of fun. I cast the doll's head in wax with flakes of shiny foil, then laid down the flakes of mica (peeled from inside an old toaster). Acceptance? Yep, going down, but what can you do? Just keep playing.
