Ever so often I discover an new way to expand the creative use of raw photographs as ingredients in a complicated recipe. A recipe for a piece of art. All I know when I start the creative process is that the chosen photograph will feature prominently in the final piece.
My recent discovery is textures. I was exploring the possibility of purchasing a Holga camera or lensbaby kit to create images that looked like they were from a bygone era or shot with an old school camera. Fortunately for me during my search I discovered textures and how they could be used to create wide and varied effects on photographs and the fun began.
I went even further by converting some of these textured images into digital paintings. (NB): I have been down with the flu and feverish for the past few days - hence the prevalence of darkness in these pieces! You have to look into these photos - if you just look at them you will miss everything!
