Normal(ish) Before
Fingerprinted-me After
This little piece results from a surprisingly fun discovery while, most happily, playing around in Paint.
Splicing and dicing this Empire State Scene, layering, breaking open new dimensions, with a simple select and drag, searching for planes and levels to make a little nonsense, new sense from of the fairly flat shadow and light of this city of dreams' night-time skyline.
I got found in this piecing together and breaking down, gained sight by the loss of standard recognitions to new forms.
A particularly fun semi-challenge was finding the means to make a letter V. Everything was strictly linear, both in the limitations of Paint and the architecture snapped. I managed to seek out a curve in the reflection off the glass, flipped and rotated, shrunk and sidled up to render that most diagonal of letters.
Shout out to Dan Flavin and Robert Indiana; Jay-Z and Alicia Keys; The Futurists and cubo-futurism; astronomers and their epic star burst captures; my love for Neon, stark contrasts, and Paint. Oh, and Lesego.
