Thats a lie, 35mm square still has light falloff in the corners but.. But i'm interested how that will add to the aesthetic; the shape of the object projected upon usually decides the falloff, this may round off the corners, seeming a less sharp shape?

The slide carrier has an opening of a 38mm sqaure with rounded corners, I can make a sharp 35mm square .. my circular pattern were coming out about 50mm so definately not going to fit.. I'll be getting the size right next time!

too large

I was finding the area of 35mm, as I was having to mask into 20mm squares, a little smaller than optimal.

I tried 120 (6x7 back on my 5x4) - but I've gone too big for the circular patterns - the ones I've not managed to project yet!  The negs are about the size of the whole slide area so I'll have to experiment to see how much area I can actually project

Forming and Destroying

Trying to find a comfortable heading for the images;
Forming shapes by defining them with a grid, destroying the shape by distorting the lines.

B&W

HP5+ shot at 800 and pushed one stop, hope the black and white film will project well!

He uses a few physical techniques, taking of the gelatin layer off of photographic paper and then manipulating it.. combining with other photo's, layering onto glass blocks etc..

In a many he removes parts of the body.. often the head, to create an abstracted form in a different context.. not much like a peice of meat, more like a broken statue but with disconcerting details; the underarm hair and skin textures.  The black and white medium help the statue aesthetic.

From tate under 'Op Art'

http://www.tate.org.uk/collections/glossary/definition.jsp?entryId=206

A major development in the 1960s of painting that created optical effects for the spectator. These effects ranged from the subtle, to the disturbing and disorienting. Op painting used a framework of purely geometric forms as the basis for its effects and also drew on colour theory and the physiology and psychology of perception. Leading figures were Bridget Riley,Jesus Raphael Soto, and Victor Vasarely. Vasarely was one of the originators of Op art. Soto's work often involves mobile elements and points up the close connection between Kinetic and Op art.

Dr D cut n pastes adverts

Billboards are the perfect place for subvertising, they are the medium of the target.. but billboards are traditional, it goes much further now.

Billboards in my starting point

Aswell as intentional subverts, extracted and isolated words from unaltered adverts, taken out of intending context

projections?

I intend for the subvert to be 'in mirror' so is the correct way round when reflected, apart from drawing more attention to itself, it clearly intends to be seen in a reflection.

The reflection is of us

In the same way advertizing invades your personal space, so does the subvert
