Some Latex Things

These were some of the practices I made for printing with latex for my show and listen, they worked out quite well but this was on a much smaller scale than I wanted. I also created a latex mould of a cast I made of shoes and a cardigan, I did want to re use the mould to create a new shape but it didnt work and ended up setting the mould into the plaster too. Ive create a plain flat mould of a flat jumper cast to maybe create a larger sheet.

5Squared

These are the entries I submitted for 5 squared, non worked out the way I wanted! One I did completely wrong so ripped off the image to start again but I actually like how it changed the picture so stuck it back down. I changed some of the colours too using markers. Over all im pleased how they turned out and I have my work in my first ever show!

ScreenShots

I made these screen grabs because i wanted to print them onto fabric for the show and listen, however i dont have the money for it to be professionally printed and i tried printing using latex as ive done it before but was really hit and miss and i didnt like it on a large scale. So instead im just going to print in either a2 or a1 a few of the screen shots on paper. 

I wanted the process i put the images through to be shown and how i manipulated them into patterns and shapes. I wanted to make them look almost like landscapes or planets with the altering layers and recognizable textures. I liked the idea of using the software as a platform for the images instead of a blank canvas as it alludes to technology combined with natural textures such as skin and grass. I wanted really hyper aesthetic images that were clashing and quite unnatural looking till you looked closely at the details of texture and pattern. I also wanted to translate my 3d into a 2d form and see how this effected the perception of the images and whether it changed how people viewed them. Im really interested in the ways in which we consume information and how this filters or exaggerates what we're reading. This theme of translation fits in well with my focus on process and the ephemeral states it creates that i can capture with my camera.

Saturate, Solarize and Colour Balance

I've tried some stuff from Joey Holders practice like using computer software and the desktop as a canvas for my photos which i quite like. The others ive just over saturated and solarized to look really hyper aesthetic and over done so the colours look obviously edited, however ive sharpened some of the textures from clothing to bring it back to the organic body related texture. I love on some of them you can see bits of fluff and hair, i love the gross little details! My hair gets in most of my sculptures so ive just started leaving them in...

'Three processes interact to make this animation. A spontaneous differentiation due to a multi-scale Turing instability causes the development of dots and lines of various colors. Each color is also a movement, leading to a compressible flow which smears and obliterates the dots and lines. The third process is an overall exponential growth or inflation. Small structures expand, and the Turing instability causes sub-structures to form.'
