ALUMINUM FOIL

"Give me infinite inspiration

and no challenge will hold me hostage"

(Lopez-Espina, 2017)


I can’t deny that my artistic senses are often motivated by the most mundane of elements. Difficult to explain what drives an adult to fool around with aluminum foil.   Somehow crumbling this food wrapping material made me think of the endless possibilities it could offer. Need to confess that simply wrinkling the foil produced nothing worth photographing, however, after adding water and color inks, something magical occurred. The most demanding part of this artistic task is in finding enough compositional variety.
