We all joined in for a group shoot for Lisa, then did our own things.
I played around with a Polaroid camera with very little success. The shutter through which the exposed image slides was not narrow enough. So the emulsion did not spread across the image enough.
I then set up some insect tea party sets. I was looking at the annoying occurrence of insects invariably spoiling the picnic! These plastic ones don't look too threatening though!
After I had finished with the food, I did a 'Mash up' set after Cindy Sherman's series of food and vomit images set up on the beach. I believe she was commenting on self-loathing and eating disorders.
From a section of this image I made a multiple kaleidoscope image.
I love the way any kind of mess can be made into a neat, ordered, attractive image. This again represents what I am trying to do with things that vex me!
Here are are couple more multiplied images:
The sense of balance and control work well in this image I think.
A neat and precise picnic where those insects will never be able to eat the jam tarts.
In this one I used the area of shadow under the glass cake stand. Combined with a section of the paper doily, it makes a calm swirling, flowing pattern.
