This ‘difficult’ work was one of those that I gave up on and turned around to face the wall for about a month. When I came to look at it again I found I was more favourably disposed to it. The central image is a battleship. The dinosaur skulls were added later.
1. Desert station
2. Landscape of limbs
3. Dream in monochrome
I’ve been continue to play with making images on Photoshop, using elements cut from old photographs and diagrams. I often invert and tint the colours. I am drawn to the mysterious and ghostly atmosphere in many of these old images. Stains and blemishes are welcome. It’s a pleasure to add a fortress to a lakeside, make an inverted head float in mid air or fuse two disparate landscapes.
As always please zoom to explore details.
