Previous experiments

Lately i have been more and more thrilled to experiment and mix my photographic techniques with other kind of medias as well.
Since i love colors, i always tend to try using them in different ways on my photos, especially in coloring the b&w ones.
Last experiment was inspired by this guy`s splendid work:

The main thing you do is : watercolor your paper negatives and check the results.I used for this experiment some 18x24 or 30x24 paper negatives.It was quite fun and exciting, especially the first time since it was ther first time i ever tried watercolors as well.Loved trying it and will do it more i think;)

Here are some photos :

outer autumn, inner spring

It`s hard to stand the outer autumn, when your heart is living its spring!

i like my body when it`s with your body

I know i have posted this poem another time;) But i can`t help it , it`s just a muse to many works of mine;))



i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh ... And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new

Evening (stop motion video)

This week we had a project at my school .We were divided into 9 separate groups and each group had a different theme to work with.We were free to choose the type of media , we were going to use for our project.
Our group`s theme was `Evening`.We decided to make a stop motion out of it.



And down you might read more info on the project:

A house..A beautiful but quite creepy table.A romantic dinner.A noble , kind man ...Everything looks quite perfect.But where is the woman?Everything can happen in here because it`s evening , the hour of the darkness...

Today i'm wearing the gloomiest perfume

My chest is like a net of sorrow
where my sobing heart bounces and crashes
perpetually pumping agony to my restless soul

The story of an aspirant

A waiting woman
Prolonged expectations
Delayed wishes
Nurtured hopes
Infidelity cracks
Broken hearts plastered again and again with love stripes
Unslaked fire
Never ending longing
Resurrecting Phoenix
The story of a woman in love and what she can do for it , is always an unfinished story...

The verses above belong to my last semester`s final school project as an `art and handicrafts` student at Vraa Hojskole.
These verses associated with the pictures you see (all of them are cyanotype photos , printed in silk fabric.Only the very first photo is the digitally converted image of a negative cyanotype print on silk).
On the last picture you might see the final state of the project.
All the pics were put in between 2 pieces of glass cut in a raw way.Cooper strings and stripes were also added.
The Juda`s Money flower as well. (Lunaria annua latin name)



When i first started to work on this project; i thought of Penelope and her love story.
Many of us have experienced stories like this..
Stories of aspiration and waiting...Unfinished waiting...For love...
I wanted to reflect these stories of woman in love, of waiting women in a single piece where i would combine photography and other arts as well.




The 2 layers of glass with the pics, copper wires and ornaments and dried flowers within, were put over a light source.
My reason for doing this was because i wanted to show everything in a transparent way , just to get closer to the texture of the work and have a more realistic and genuine approach to the characters as well.




The copper strings, photos, Juda`s money flowers (used as symbol of infidelity), all of them were put in a random and asymmetrical way.


I decided to make the project look unfinished , just like the carpet Penelope used to hand-knit.

FOR THE STORY OF A WOMAN IN LOVE AND WHAT SHE CAN DO FOR IT IS ALWAYS AN UNFINISHED STORY...
