Just  a short posting today.  I can hear the collective sigh of relief.  At least I would if any one were reading this.

I thought I’d post a few sculpture pictures I’ve been goofing around with in Photoshop.   Mainly I’ve been altering the contrast and brightness.

This is the sculpture titled ‘Woman Bending Backwards’

I like that it’s dark and hard to make out on an initial viewing.  They’re even harder to make out in the prints because they became grainier.  I showed them to a friend of mine and his first thought was that it was a photo of a cathedral.  He was probably high though so let’s not talk about him.

Here are some pictures of the female god from the sculpture titled ‘A Two God Universe’.

I was playing around with pure colors.  About six years ago I did a series of abstract paintings using a different primary color for each one.  Unfortunately I don’t have any photos of them at hand, but I’ll try to find some in the next few weeks.

Although I think they are strong images, my main concern with the female god photos is that they aren’t cohesive enough to stand on their own. Are they dependent upon the sculpture, or can they exist independently?
Finally here are some images from the piece titled ’Two Figures Pulling Apart’.  They’re taken from a photo of the sculpture while still in the clay stage.  It’s the large connecting chunk of flesh located at the figures pelvic areas.  I used Photoshop to progressively darken the photograph.  Each sequence of darkening brought out a richer tone by creating more pronounced shadows, which helped to define musculature.

Cheers for now,

P.S. anything found on this site is for sale.  Including me.  Prices available upon request. Thank you
