– House Full of Empty Rooms (Cover)
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
Check out me and Amber’s project for the night; a cover of a lovely Kathleen Edwards song!
After all my plans…
They melt into the sand
You will be there on my mind through all
I don’t even know what this is
Some kind of strange bee-like, metallic creature that I fashioned from photographs of water flowing from my tap and bubbling around the sink.
Treefingers - by Sam Lewis
I love re-working trees. They are amazingly intricate, random structures, but through symmetry they can look painstakingly designed and ordered.
I also quite like the idea of making surreal symmetrical landscapes, these are early attempts but it is an idea i’d love to pursue further.
Thunderous 1, 2 - by Sam Lewis
These two very different pieces are formed from similar photographs.
For christmas one year I was given one of those electric glass ball things that you touch with your fingers and pretty pink lines of electricity dance everywhere.
Anyway, this was fun for all of about a day and then the novelty kind of wore off.
However, im happy to say I found a new use for this christmas cast off, and that was to create pictures like these.
Basically every line and variation of colour in these images is a fluctuating wave of electricity from that orb. I took two very different approaches with boht images, a mixture of long exposure and high speed photography as well as colour correction and more of the symmetrical structure applied to the second.
Towers - by Sam lewis
These pictures are made up of different photographs stitched together on my computer. There are elements from long exposure fireworks photography at the top of the tower, and the long leg-like structures are from high-speed photographs of water flowing from a tap in my sink,
This kind of work is so much fun because I just look for shapes, and Imagine them as something else entirely, and sometimes I its a random thing I see, and i upload it to the computer and its unlikely likeness to something strange or sinister inspires me to transform it into that, whatever it is.
Anyway, these were fun to make, they’re sort of nightmare objects/landscapes.
