Night Sky, 1990
Midnight Swim, 1990
As suggested to me by Janie I have been looking at Lorie Novak's projection photographs. Her work is stunning and fully relates to my ideas of projecting. Her work is great to look at and has helped me decide on some technical issues. When Novak projects images into the sky and onto trees she doesn't project a full frame, but lets just parts of a photograph show up. I really like this technique and want to explore it more. I think that when projecting onto a space a full frame may be distracting and take away from the entire frame as a whole.
I really like the presentation method that this artist uses and I think it definitely relates to your work. When I first saw it I thought it was perfect. I agree that the fact that she doesn't use a full frame is something that could enhance your work, it would make it look completely seemless; like it belonged on the surface of whatever it was projected onto. I would love to see the end product!
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful. I had been wondering what exactly you meant when you were talking about projected images for photographs. I am really glad you posted this. I enjoy the image within an image in these works and I see the same strength in your photographs.
