These scans were created in the first scanning session, I wanted to create an image using neutral tones, they were objects I collected from my weekend that I spent in the new forest, autumn leaves, tobacco, and a bracelet I found, I think that I could improve a lot on these images, maybe by changing to colour of the background to create more depth, or adding more texture.
Research:
After researching Scanography artists, I've decided that a black background would be more effective for my scans and provide a deeper atmospher that i'm after. Black backgrounds can be created by leaving the scanner lid open or just simply placing black paper on top of your composition.
Those were the most successful scans so far but I still think I could develop my idea’s further, I might experiment with adding more acetate layers and try to add more texture I will also try using a black background rather than leaving the scanner lid open because I think this has resulted in a loss of colour in the leaves. I might also try to create more“light leaks” were the scanner light has reflected against the acetate. I think this piece would be more successful if it wasn’t so flat and there was more intensity in the colours.
To me these images are really personal, there about my struggle this year of dealing with death, after I lost someone really important to me to cancer. It’s been a tough year and these scans represent how the way i see the world has changed, however through this I have learned that you must have an end to have a beginning.
