I loved how she said, "It became a game of how much you can tell with how little." I defiantly can see the demonstration of censorship. I think its awesome as Joe Holmes said below me, that she used barriers and limitations as inspiration for her art. It defiantly gets me thinking about new inspirations for my own work. =]Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01940008728235682065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-55752968346143056752010-01-23T12:52:24.028-05:002010-01-23T12:52:24.028-05:00So, she etches the negative, or uses digital editi...So, she etches the negative, or uses digital editing software? Is this a series of "hard" changes to the "in the hand" negative, or soft changes, via Photoshop or other software.<br /><br />I couldn't quite figure out from the posts, in conjunction with the images. I guess I'll need to go look her up and read more. Love the airmail image.<br /><br />Your blog does that a lot to me--makes me go look further.

There's something about working within severe limitations that can lead to wonderful art. I suspect there are examples of this in all the arts.Joe Holmeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741278269759513642noreply@blogger.com
