Last week’s theme at Lens Us Together was “Homemade” and I struggled a bit with this topic. If you’ve been visiting here for awhile then you’ll know that much of my “life” has been packed away in boxes since the end of April…including the contents of my studio. It’s been a challenge for me but also very freeing, as I was forced to focus soley on photography and digital media and that has opened up new projects and new ways of approaching this media.
The other challenge has been the difficulty I’ve had in concentrating on anything creative when my mind has been on construction decisions and living with extended family. We’ve all had a lot of fun together and enjoyed the experience so much, but it’s definitely time to get back to “normal’ life…whatever that might be!
In the last few months I’ve been working on a series of digital work which start with my own black and white photographs. I then add a solid block of colour and continue to add on collage layers (digitally). I find the contrast of black and white with a bright solid colour, interesting and fun to work with. The top picture was originally of a pumpkin patch…hence the orange, and the pink one above was of a field of gladiola’s.
And this one, which I’ve posted here previously, is of the ever present sea that nourishes and surrounds me!
This is about as “home made” as it' gets around here these days!
I’m so glad you stopped by for a visit,
Play well and be kind to one another.
