BOW A4: Developments, skin, flesh

~ Sarah-Jane Field ~ 1 Comment

I tried using the skin on this image but don’t like it at all – the colours just don’t work for me. Too similar. But I do like the image as it is with the white background. I very much like the crease (made by me when used in the dummy booklet) and the little tear/bend at the bottom right.

Reminded of advice/teaching from a director at Manchester Met – it’s not the endgame but the journey that is of value.

Sometimes you might end up almost back at the place you started but far richer for the journey and it’s that which matters most. It is a way of being that makes sense to me. (He gave us all a copy fo Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse when we came to the end of our project).

Another experiment where the photograph becomes skin-like through blending.

 

Will print some copies at home of these to look at ‘in the flesh’ …

 

 

BOW A4: Experiments

~ Sarah-Jane Field ~ 1 Comment

Had an idea of mixing flesh with old photographs – think I will experiment with uncut photos next.

Cropped to the size of the original image  – may need to dig out the pen and redo I think as not very accurate with the mouse along the edges. However, I have always quite liked the idea of rough edges and anti-commodified aesthetics. Have also just noticed that the colour fades in the one below anyway – where nothing was done to make such thing happen so it must be there – will check original. Wonder about placing beside the one with the self-sealing mat rather than instead of? Will keep experimenting.

Uncropped but looks like a weird tattoo this way
