Digital Aberration

Lots going on here. Found photographs, my own photography, little bit of painting, little bit of gold leaf (now purple), and glitch art all in one beautiful mess. 🤭

Found some old quarter plate glass negatives in an auction lot, looking at the subjects they probably date from 1900-1920 and the photographer wasn't half bad. #bwphotos #foundimages #glassplate #early20thcentury

Going through my old art... this was part of a series that made me so deeply depressed but hopeful. These pieces are titled, in order, Mikkel, Mireya, Woeser, and Chris.

When It Crumbles.

I love using old public domain and found images and painting on them to create something new. This one is an older piece from 2019.
