A couple more Photoshop tryouts…

Trying out different Photoshop layers, colours and patterns. I really like the coloured versions of the image but it’s hard not to go overboard with the colour – maybe subtlety is the best option? I think the rich colours add to the surreal elements of the image, and make it seem less flat. I had an idea last night that I could maybe print the image so that it looks 3D when you view it with 3d glasses?

If I did that in the degree show, I would either need a large supply of glasses to view the work with, or maybe create like a stand with a 3d lens on it? It would definitely make the image more interesting, I could create the whole experience?

I’ve been experimenting using acrylic hair on some of the clay figures that I’ve been making and I like the grotesque effect. I think espercially since the hair isn’t sleek or groomed particularly well, it turns out that the more tangled the better!

I want to try and add a human/creature element into the work and I think the hair helps to achieve this.

With these images I’ve tried using a variety of different filter effects on Photoshop. I like the effects that are acheiveable and how they can completely change the feel of an image.

Recently I’ve taken a break from developing the photographs of the dolls that I’ve made, but have revisited them in the last day or so to see if I can push them further. If i’m happy enough with the results, they may become possible degree show works!
