the research laboratory
To explore words as if they were reality, to search for answers to wild questions, to look closer in order to see down through the depths...
I have been working on a small series of images where I create dresses out of small objects. The books here are one of my largest "small objects" yet, but it proved to be an added challenge in ways that I didn't expect. They were nice to work with because I didn't need as many to construct the dress (whereas I have previously used over a thousand of a single object)...but they did require some finessing when it came to blending, as they naturally have more detail. Being bigger, it is only appropriate that we see that detail. I have been enjoying zooming in and reading some pages as I edit...save for the few that I mirrored in Photoshop!

Here are the other images from that series:
