Fragmented Memories | Projections.


I’ve been working in the project rooms at uni for the past couple of days experimenting with projections/film. Today I was exploring projecting photographic images on to torn bits of paper that had been strung up with pieces of cotton. Here’s a few images of the process and results:

This is just a mock up for a large scale installation I’m planning that will involve hundreds of these torn pieces of paper and a film that will be projected on to them. At the moment I’m still playing with the translucency of the different pieces of paper and different ways of using the projector to manipulate the images.  Feedback as always is really appreciated! :)
P.s, I’m really honored to have been featured on one of my favourite sites: Photojojo, check out the post here – DIY: Turn Digital Photos into Vintage-like Prints with Mulberry Paper

Comments like this make me happy! Thank Youuu. :)

“Found your blog and fell in love with it. What caught my eye was printing photos on handmade paper.  I make handmade paper and I’ve dabbled with printing photos on it. Still somewhat frustrated with my results.  The ink I’m wasting is ridiculous.  The set of coasters photo is a photo of a piece of my handmade paper printed on a another piece of my handmade paper.  I have had a love affair with paper since childhood.  Paper itself and what how it can be used.  I try to use as much recycled paper as possible.  I wish I could express in words my love of paper and the manipulation of it.  Really my work is my words.  I know that’s a bit of a cop out, but I’m being honest.”
