Thinking about shadow puppets and how they were used, and how we make images today – I do quite like this and have no problem with the obvious altering in PS (perhaps as long as there is some stuff included not altered), which there is currently – and relevant. There was criticism of Martins for using PS when he did a series of houses for the NY Timesbut would they say the same about Alma Hassar’s image of Andy Clark in the New Yorker? Where are they cutting their lines between what is acceptable and what isn’t? Thinking always of Hoffman’s book on seeing – which admittedly frustrates many people. I wonder if I would be happier with my puppets looking like this in the sequence… something to think about. It’s the opposite of how they’d have been seen originally, which I really like.
