Both of these polaroid photos were taken by Chris Swainson at his "Donations for Creations" show on Friday October 30 at FRESH. The first photo is my favorite because two pieces of film got stuck together to create that weird rectangular box effect that looks like we are holding it up. I love how accidents happen, sometimes for the better! This happens a lot in fine art, especially photography and painting. In my print class an accident happened that I enjoyed on one of my prints but that is not OK in printing because some people think that prints should be perfect. I told my friend Hayden that we should start a movement in printing that allows accidents. But, it has probably already happened. Just a thought...
Here is the second photo that shows my friends (L to R) Gram Ramsey, Myself, and Ian Matteson as The Trailer Park Boys! Gram is a made up character but I am Bubbles and Ian is Ricky. For people that recognized us we received a lot of credit for being original. Not to mention the facial hair changes we had to go through, mostly Ian. Oh and P.S. check what we are drinking out of! haha. Well until next Hallows Eve!!!
Thats great! Ha... makes me think of my high school art teacher... who when you would make a mistake that looked good he called it a "happy accident". Thats what art is... discovering new ways to explore are create new out of an old process. I love it, thanks for sharing.
