I loved the sleek stainless lines of the vase, wedged between two slabs of glass and decided to stage a photo shoot. I surrounded everything with black foamcore, plucked some blooms from my garden and took my photos. In photoshop, I reduced everything to black and white and filled in black to make the negative space one plane. Working the contrast and brightness until it satisfied my vision. Usually, I find the subject and this time I manipulated it…but it was an experiment and I love the results. Homage to Man-Ray and his photo-grams but this was done with camera on my kitchen table and transported to Photoshop in the mid 2000’s…all part of my creative journey that has led to Photo-Liminalism….so far…..
