Interference Plaid Series:
This is not Photoshop.
The creation of this artwork is a multistage process.
I begin by designing a body painting specifically for a particular model.
The design takes into account the model’s body type, coloring and interests.
I then paint the model’s body with hypoallergenic water based makeup.
Then I photograph the model in my studio with a Nikon digital camera.
The digital image’s actual code is then manipulated.
It is a random process in which the results are not visible until the code is converted back into an image file.
This is very different from manipulating an image in Photoshop as the results are not controlled nor visible during the process.
