I was trying to find 35 images on my website to put on Carbonmade, because the free host I use now is ugly... and every time I try to edit down my pics I get a bit confused and then distraught, because they are not as striking as I want them to be, and because I'm really self critical. The solution is to keep working of course, and eventually I'll stumble upon something I'm really really proud of. I tend to feel like I'm on my way, on to something but not there yet, not as successful or polished as I want to be. But there is some past work that shows what I want to do. Blogspot only supports tiny images and has cropped mine...click on image to view the entire thing.
Logan the cat refers to the Sphinx and is my interpretation Carl Yung's theories about archetypes and the collective unconscious (because we know he's reminiscent of the Sphinx) It's also a digital collage (4 layers) and creates a scene.
Then there's this one, which could be an aerial view of houses or ET or the parachute jump. I like morphing.
These types of long exposures will supplement the collages, whether as backgrounds or mosaics or weaves..
Videos:
I like to sync my imagery to music, and I want to use that method to enhance my work. Three videos I've done with (sound synced to image) techniques which I will use for my promo. I'm concerned with bass, I want my videos to be heard with strong sub-frequency vibrations...
What I did today:
I have this balcony, with a convenient rectangle of sunshine, and I set up a wooden board and put on a coat and gloves, and played with an old print. I chopped it up with a blade; I made salad of it and tried a few collaging techniques. I took photos and short videos, but now it's time to run to the darkroom to print and develop... I will bring my creation in for the critique on Monday., and here are a few teasers... raw footage, so turn off sound and feel free to browse through really fast, I will probably speed these up 300%.
