Exploring Dimensions
April 16, 2007 |
[-art, photography, poetry-]
Today’s image comes from Maureen Shaughnessy, the talented photographer and artist who has been a frequent contributor to The PCQ. She continually explores deeper and deeper into the possibilities of photographic/drawn art alterations.
I asked Maureen about this image and she said that she took a painting of a “normal, boring fish” and digitally altered it giving the appearance of perspective and swimming in different positions…” Maureen was working with the idea of “taking a flat…almost cut-paper or 2-dimensional tapestry gradually…transforming into a 3-dimensional dream image as you go right.”
I love not only the image she came up with, but the visual, design and metaphorical exploration behind it.
To accompany her image, she includes the following:
|
And a part, just a little part of a poem by one of my very favorite Mostly, I want to be kind. And nobody gets out of it, having to
And look! look! look! I think those little fish
And probably, they can do it. — by Mary Oliver |
Linking literary works to art - whether they are your own words or someone else’s - can add a further dimensionality that enhances both.
thanks, Maureen for an inspiring alteration.

nancy, thanks for the compliments. I just want to also thank you for the way you credited me in this blog post. I wish everyone who uses my artwork and photos in their blogs (there are way too many of those) would credit me as you have. Yours makes me feel all warm and cozy. Sometimes when I see my photos blogged with no credit given, or just my name under the photo (and not even my real name) it irritates me. So thanks!
