This is the first in a series of 12×12 compositions… my computer has claimed two other collages as bestial sacrifices to the unstable Corel gods. Heartless bastards. Anyway, these are going to be simple compositions relying more on one or two dynamic elements to focus on while playing with texture and color. The 12×12 aspect ratio makes me feel like I’m playing with album covers from LPs that languish in an obscure alternative dimension.
This is the last of the ultra wide landscapes I think I will be doing for a while. I need to get my scanner back up and running to scan some new colors/textures and will be contacting junk yards and shops to try to photograph their stranger inventory. With the purchase of a new backdrop (ie a dense denim gradient from Joann’s Fabrics) I’ll also be shooting some head shots and 2/3 portraits sometime soon.
Going back and fine tuning some of the recent experiments before plowing forth into the new work. This is getting close I think!
