An arresting cyanotype by Portland’s Ramble More Design sets the laid-back tone in a lower-level living room nook whose other focal point is an oak-wrapped fireplace that cleverly integrates floating shelves.

 
 

“Twelve”

Featured artwork includes historic photos of the original Building 12, a Casco Bay boat designer, and salvaged purchase ledgers. Constructed 150 years ago, "Building 12" was originally used to store the wooden pattern molds that were used for casting the iron and steel machine parts that were central to the production of locomotives and ship parts. Portland local, Timothy Goldkin at @ramblemoredesign used a traditional wheat paste process to bring these archival photos back to life

-“Twelve” Restaurant's list of artists involved.


Along with using a bit of digital technology, Goldkin has mastered the use of antiquated photographic printing to transform decades-old smaller negatives into much larger works of art.

“What I really love is the juxtaposition of taking these old archival images, scanning them, digitalizing them, then bringing them up to the future — then reproducing them into negatives and using again an analog or archival medium to bring them back to the past,” Goldkin said.
