This was a very interesting module, never knew that photocopying things could have such an impact on making or changing how the original looked. We were asked to take a work from our visual diary and rework it by collaging and mixing other images from magazines newpapers etc.
My original work from observational module
Intended to combine this with my original work
Photocopied and cut out of original
Ended up using another picture from magazine to combine with my original
Final photocopied work
Here’s a piece of work done by Bruce Conner entitled “BOMBHEAD”, it was scanned using the original negatives of a portrait of Bruce Conner by Edmund Shea and an atomic bomb photo from the National Archives, Library of Congress. It was digitally edited by Bruce Conner and Donald Farnsworth at Magnolia Editions in Oakland, California. The printing was done on an Epson 9600 piezo printer using gray and black pigmented ink. Bruce Conner accidently hand painted the drop of blood on the atomic symbol on the tie with acrylic paint.
BOMBHEAD, 1989/2002 Pigment on RC photo and Somerset paper, acrylic 32 x 25 in.
