Selfportrait

I am interested in double exposed photography and have experimented with layering negatives physically, although this photo is created by turning my head quickly and taking the photo with long exposure.

IT´s NICE THAT..

Facial expressions

 

Facial expressions.

This is made when finding symbols in communication. It is a sort of extension of my body language prints.

I am very interested in how we communicate with our bodylanguage and facial expressions.

The language is only a verbal part of the communication between one another and

we read each others throught what we visually see.

This led me to think about how we communicate and socialize so much online nowadays.

We loose alot of the communication online; body gestures, eye contact, sound of voice and facial expressions.

Will be slowly loose the ability of personal communication and bodylanguage?

Dreamlandscapes

These are photographs taken when experimenting with exposure.

I like the blurry kind of dreamy effect and the glittery feeling. 

I have come to realize that I enjoy working with b/w photographs and the challenge

of creating a feeling and creating the photograph rather than taking it as this would only be an

observation of the world around me. Actually communicating and visualizing something abstract or

something that can only be communicated through an image and not with words.

I am also interested in the line between photography and painting, sometimes when I look at a photograph 

it is hard to tell what it actually is.

Red photos

 

Red photos. These are a part of an experimental project adding different filters to the camera lens.

This is made throught the filter of a watercolored cottonpad.

Selfportrait experimenting with exposure

Drawing in the process of three materials used

This is a drawing made from upside down without actually looking at the image during the process.

I find it interesting working with an image experimenting with several materials and methods so I

chose to make an ink drawing and a screen print onto fabric as well.

Collecting the corners

These are an outcome of a collection of corners which I took photos of. 

I chose to create a 4 sided 3 dim cube with them attaching the corners on the outside.

The idea is to play with the shape of a space and to create a "reversed" room -without- corners.

I made 3 of these because when adding one cube to another - a corner is created. 

It has to do with the whole idea of how everything needs something else in order to exist and nothing stands alone.

"Pauses in conversation"

This is an outcome for a project.

The cups symbolizes the pauses (full-stops) in a conversation

and the blocks symbolizes sentences.

The thoughts around it is how everything is built up with pauses, and can be found 

in everything; music, speech, dance. Without pauses there will be no rythm.

I wanted to communicate a complex matter in a simple way.

Visual language: body imprints

Bodylanguage with yoga poses. Black acrylic paint and my body as a tool for imprints.
Each one is A1 size 
This is a school project when we had to create our own visual language with symbols.
As I am not into typography I wanted to make a physical visual language using my body as a tool and creating the symbols using movement and my interest for dance and yoga. This lead me to create these large paper imprints, coloring my body with black paint and the imprints are created in the process of my body in connection with the paper, with yoga positions.
