Construction of 3D relief works - Secrets of the Forgotten Tapu - © Lloyd Godman

Once the structure of the image is decided, a wooden support is built and sealed with sanding sealer to prevent acid vapors and migration from attacking the photographic images.

Acid free covers are then tacked in place, forming a secure and safe base for the photographs to be glued onto.

The complete former is covered with black cotton cloth, and an acrylic edge is bent to surround the edge of the work. This edge is then bonded to an acrylic front cover with 1-1-2 Trichloroethane which is applied with a syringe and needle.

Next the photographs which have been mounted onto aid free card, are glued onto the cotton covers with methyl cellulose paste and held in place with weight until dry.

While the photographs are being glued, the unwanted acrylic on the over is removed to the shape of the edge with a router

(thanks to Derek Ball for use of his studio)

after a clean and polish, the cover is finished and ready for fixing
in place over the images

The finished work on the studio floor ready for hanging.
