Flexible surfaces (+ stretching)

Michal Macku has invented

his own technique, which

he named ‘Gellage’,

whereby photographic

emulsion is removed from

its paper backing, leaving

an image that is semi-

transparent and flexible.

This allows the image to be

stretched and reformed –

sometimes combined with

other images to make

imaginative, distorted

and/or surreal scenes –

before the artwork is

adhered to durable paper.
