Quotes Over Photography
My tape project is evolving, guys, and here's what I plan to do with it.
First, let's backtrack. My tape was initially used to cover up small parts of the background to draw attention to the words. I watercolored the background to match the quote, such as patches of red for a quote about roses. Really, I was forcing the viewer to see it the quote from my perspective - I was interpreting it for them. Now, I am going to gradually fade the background and increase the size of the tape. But get this - instead of taping over watercolors, what if I taped over photographs? My photographs, to be more precise. Or what if I put tape on something in nature and then took a photo of it? I am super thrilled for this, guys. It was hard to find pictures of this online, but here's a kinda good example of what I mean. The next picture is just a visual of the quote I want to use - it's my favorite poem, For Whom the Bell Tolls, by John Donne. I hope you love it as much as I do!
