Artist's Comments

I started with a digital photograph. I cropped it to the ratio 3:4 and divided it into 12 squares. I made 4 versions of the picture: desaturated and then 3 duotones, CMY. I did these using gradient map.

Then I made a separate file with a 9x9 grid and placed the squares on the grid so I had 12 sets of 5-square layouts. The pictures were in the DDR pad format: up, down, left, right with the original in the center. I printed them out, cut them out, and sewed them into cubes. Some of the cubes have the image facing inwards and some have the image facing outwards; I did this in a checkerboard pattern.

I've been debating over whether I should attach the cubes together permanently or leave them apart and thinking about how to present them. So far I've just put them together in different configurations and photographed said configurations.

The assignment is to take a photograph and make three drastically different works of art out of it. This is my first idea. Another idea I had was to make it into a flash animation...but I really don't know.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

nice work! maybe it's a nice idea to print the photo on textile and make some sort of dress from it as a second work? Or frame it as one would with a painting?

I understood the filler words in your descirption.

But the work is pretty sweet. Must have taken you alot of time and trial and error to get correct.

If i had your virtue, i'd be a rock star.

Great.
