The
Wanderer Series - mixed media on plywood, 2008
I wanted to bring more of my wooden characters to life, but instead of placing
them in a gallery, I wanted them in natural surroundings.
Basically, I am trying to make a similar scene that
I would on paper, but using photography. The camera in this project as the
framing agent.. to make the
wooden
characters integrate into the background as of a painting.
I still have more work to do to create the desired
effect, but here is the first round. |
