Testament to my camera's weirdness...
Harry in our hotel room dans le Cambridge:
Me in art studio yesterday:
I quite enjoy the shaky, unintentional picture molestation. It reminds me of all manner of beautiful, accidental, characteristically 'lomo' photography.
Examples of 'typically' lomo images pulled from google:
They have the shaky image contrast and simultaneously vibrant & washed out colours - how could I not love this? It's high art grunge <3
Anyhow...
Following the trip to the geology rooms in Cambridge, I've been thinking more about incorporating worn and aged aspects of natural phenomena - using fossils and fossilised forms to create that foetid, decrepit, long-lost, neglected and more literally physical ways of showing these things...
Fossil forms:
Basic 2 layer screen print of forms:
Monoprints of fossil forms - these have a much nicer and more appropriate texture:
With thoughts on Nedjar's horrid dirt dolls and Gormely's fluid, emotive, textured drawings:
Dirt paintings of figures:
Owing to weird camera. this dirt painting of the kelp girl laying at the bottom of the kelp forest hasn't shown up too well:
Paper soaking overnight in muddy water:
Looking at the marks on the paper - like fossils etc:
Curiously relevant to my interests:
