Sphere of Influence

Thought I’d post an image that I’d tweaked a bit in PS. The original image is a scanograph of a glass sphere that I made last year. I’ve never been able to successfully capture the color when I’ve tried to photograph it. This comes close to how it looks when lit from below. C & C’s welcome!

Something oldish, something newish

I’ve been at a bit of a creativity loss lately, so I’ve decided to revisit some earlier works and rework some of them a bit. Here are two of my "new" old pieces. C&C’s welcome!

In a child's eyes

In a child's eyes was one of my first scanographic assemblage pieces. I first arranged and scanned several groups of objects that I had collected over the years, then the scans were assembled into the finished piece. It is an attempt to evoke something of the innocense and curiosity of youth, represented by the strange things that we accumulate with magpie-like zeal.

While looking through some old polaroids, I came across a number of under/over exposed images that I had saved because I found them interesting. This piece is the product of manipulating several of those images. The final piece was output at 12" x 12".

This is a digital manipulation that I recently did that was based on a scan of an 18th C. receipt, submitted for reimbursement by General Geo. Washington for foodstuffs purchased for the Continental Army on the way to the Battle of Germantown. The output print is 12" x 12".

This is a new digital manipulation of a photo taken yesterday. Quite often I will take a photo, and then see the potential for using it in another piece of work or as a piece by itself. Most of my work revolves around explorations of light and color, regardless of the medium I choose to work with at the time.
