Description
Silver gelatin print on Kentmere glossy neutral-tone fiber-based paper, tea-stained.Size: ca. 40"w x 50"h
The picture of this image isn't the greatest of quality... turns out it's a bit difficult to photograph these monsters. That aside, this is my favorite piece to date. It looks much more impressive in real life. The image of a person in a distressed fetal position has been wrinkled, ripped, and any other way you can think of to say "trashed" to give it the appearance of being something worthless, something that has been misused and abused and then tossed aside like garbage.

Ha ha, "creepy" seems to be the recurring comment on these images, both on here and in real life.
Thank you for commenting.

I used to get "freak" too. Not anymore, though... at least, not that I'm aware of. That's what's great about being in art school. Everyone's a freak.

Thank you so much for the comments.
I start with a positive print the same size as the 35mm film you get for your camera. With that little positive, I do the stuff you see on the final prints (stitches, wrinkles, rips...), then put that into an enlarger to make a bigger negative. That's why all the extra stuff is enlarged along with the actual image. Then I use the negative I made to make the final print that you see.
