Summer Pattern Tapestries
Description: Having earlier photographed Grace (6) playing and dancing in front of a pink sheet on the washing line, I later got the idea of having her 'hold' one of the earlier images but keeping still. (She actually held a white sheet of paper onto which I layered the second image.) Both shot the same day using a Canon 400D, natural light.
Description: I wanted to make strawberry patterns, first with a simple photograph with the strawberries arranged in some semblance of a polka dot pattern and secondly, digitally using the strawberries to make a true repeat pattern. Just experimenting and playing with ideas. This is the repeat pattern version.
Description: A timeless emblem of hope, reimagined with a raw, psychedelic energy. The iconic shape is not clean and simple, but filled with a vibrant, maze-like pattern that seems to pulse with life, evoking the sun-drenched optimism of the Summer of Love and the fervent spirit of the original peace movements. Surrounded by whimsical, hand-drawn flowers, this is a talisman for the modern-day flower child, a powerful symbol of unity with a trippy, tribal twist.
