Experiments

I wanted to experiment with my photographs by hand in order to create another form of decay. As part of this I came up with three different experiments.

Figure 1 shows the first experiment where I ripped the edges of my pictures to create a sense of damage as what is in the photos is, I also thought this made the photos look old and worn out.

Figure 2 shows two experiments, with two of the images I used acrylic paint and painted over sections of the photographs in the style of Sarah Meyers Brent in order to add texture and to make it look as though the photos themselves are decaying. The last experiment I done was to stick dying flowers over part of my photo. I chose dead flowers as this is another form of decay and I wanted to put the two together. Although I like the concept, it did not turn out as well as I had hoped/expected.
