One particular piece caught my eye and you can see why...
I remember experimenting with Photoshop, making similar works where hands and eyes, kidneys and brains were manipulated and reorganised to make strange entities like the one in this photo. This was while I was in my second year of art school and I was using Photoshop version 4 at the time, I have 5.2 now wow aren't I up to date ha ha ha! But with a bit of experimentation I was able to create images, which are very roughly done, especially if you compare them to the images created by Pixeloo. I always wanted to have another go at making these works now that I have a bit more experience with Photoshop but I have never gotten around to it, my work took a different road so to speak.
This is one of the works I am talking about which was not as described before a mixture of body parts and organs but from another series that was done using Photoshop. I was looking at organ farming and cloning body parts and how the body as 'parts' would become part of our everyday lives if commercialised. Lost a hand in a work accident? Don't worried we'll make you a new one. Don't like your feet? Don't worry we'll make you some new and better looking ones. I have the other images on disk somewhere so I will post them when I find them.
Vanessa from one of my absolute favourite blogs, Street Anatomy, has asked me if she can post some of my art on Street Anatomy. Of course I said she could I couldn't be more pleased and honoured. Thank you Vanessa for helping me share my art and ideas to others with similar interests, ideas and skills.
