New Term. New Project.

Imagined Places

For this project, I intend to do a series of Portraits based on places that I remember from home. Seeing as I can't physically go home to do this project, I plan on re-creating scenes from memories in a different location.

I've been on a Location hunt and I found a massive field just outside Kingston, Hampton Court Park.


It reminds me of home, somehow. Maybe it's the acres of open space that are so common at home, but are a rarity in London? I dunno, but its really quite cool and I definitely plan on using it in this project. I might even go back later and do some self portraits there.. maybe.



Another place that I often associate with my childhood is a playground, naturally. I found a really cool playground which is shockingly similar to one back home, so I may use this, too.

it...got away from me.

Chip Simons. Light Paintings.






using LED lights to create crazy  patterns and shapes, almost at random.


its the fact that i have little or no control over the image, I just have the light to move around that I find so intriguing.


                    

                    
using familiar objects, shapes, figures and drawing around them.

creating a sense of motion by using simple things such as light.

almost like taking 3 different exposures. they all make it really interesting.
