fictional situations

Sorry for taking over the blog...You can have it back. After you let me know what you think? I'm not sure that any of these are finished yet....

Created experiences

Also, these are 16 by 20ish printouts. And sorry, the photos of these things aren't the greatest... The photographs I've painted on are snapshots, but the painted pieces are staged scenarios that the participant didn't participate in. Got it? I like the contrast between those two things.

Making myths.

Here's some stuff I've been making lately. Making marks on inkjet photos with paint, colored pencil, graphite, collage etc. I think I'll add some embroidery and maybe some beading some time. And more collage. With more materials. I've been thinking about how these images transform a "real" occurance into a myth/narrative/different environment. And create characters out of these people...
