Behind the Scenes "Through"


Check out this behind the scenes video for my "Through" series





Pushed Through

WAH HOOOO!

It is finals week and I am finally finished with this current series. Though I think that I will actually continue on using other fabrics, because I have absolutely loved this project. I thought it was fun just experimenting with the different fabrics and everything.

So for the finished product I decided to do photo transfers of my favorite prints onto wood. The wood I actually used was darker and rougher so when I did the transfers some of the image pulled up and looked like it was ripped its self and I LOVED IT! Then I went on to take the fabrics that I used cutting them out and folding them over on the images, trying not to cover the image, only cover a small portion on it.

These are the final results (sorry for the images, they were taken with my cell phone)







And look for a behind the scenes video coming soon!!

Almost Finished!

This quarter is almost over, so that means this projects is coming to an end. I decided that due to a lot of the negative feed back I was getting over the images that I had of myself I decided to just go back and re-shoot with those fabrics and use a different model.

I also decided to add two more fabrics to the mix: Lace and Window Screen.

What was so cool about the both of those were the lace has this repeating rose pattern on it so it looks cool to have all of these repeating elements competing with the figure that I was trying to push through it. Then with the window screening because it was metal I was able to bend and crease and move it around the model, very similar to my original inspiration.

I haven't shown these images to class yet so I do not know what their response will be, but I love these new shots!





Let me know what you think!
