Urban night shoot 1

Urban shoot 2

Lens-Based workshop

Initial Photo shoot - 'Looking Up.'

Thinking about urban environments in relation to the sky as a canvas.

Looking at the way urban structures divide up the sky to capture it within. Including only small entities of urban life within the frame to create a minimalist effect. 

'Looking Up' explores the idea that the human race take our environment for granted, spending so much time concentrating on what is in front of them rather than what is all around. 

Creating prints on 3D objects

When I was printing on sufaces within the natural environment, I decided that it would be interesting to look in my surroundings and see if there were any materials that I would be able to take back with me and print on in order to use them as an element of 3D in my project.

I found a disguarded brick and also a rock that was embedded within the river bed and decided these would be perfect for this part of my project.

I have decided not to wash them or change their appearance in any way as the surface is completely untouched by man and relates greatly to the surfaces on which Anasazi Rock Art was formed.

These are images of the process of printing onto these sorts of surfaces. It is insteresting how the hand print is distorted and doesn't look as much like a hand print due to the uneven surface on which I am printing.
