These are fragments of photos mounted on blocks of wood that I then moved around on a black canvas and photograph. The individual shapes you see in these images are parts of photos that have been cut up. I can use the shapes again and again and arrange them any way I want and then rephotograph them. I can then work with them in Photoshop in the computer again to change them even more.
The computer creates the burst behind the shape out of the refection of the flash. This is done by running the image through one of the programs many filters
My inspiration for this work comes from the Dada artist Jean (Hans) Arp, this is one of his works to the left. To see more images of his work follow this link
