Forbidden Memory

This was an experiment with my Lensbaby soft focus lens last week on a 'camera walk'. The more I worked on it (in Photoshop) the more it reminded me of the trailer of The Walking Dead (one of my all time favourite series). The combination of the imagery (barbed wire, viewer hidden in the trees) and the textures and soft focus made me think of those memories we can't bear to look at directly, but only sideways and with a squint, hence the name.

All images/textures/brushes my own or bought. Grunge and emotion added in with Photoshop.

All my images are available on Redbubble, Artflakes, Society6 and Bluecanvas as prints, cards, posters, skins for laptops, Blackberry, iPhones and other phones (for the skins go to Bluecanvas). You can now also get most of my images on cushion covers (go to Society6 for these).

Make of it what you want. Sometimes we need to be savage, sometimes we need to see the monsters for what they are. Be brave.

Love Hurts - Triptych

 

 

 

 ...Lost in your heart, lost in your eyes
Lost every day, no map to follow
Entire days, weeks, a blur
Flickers of light, in the darkness,
Only to be enveloped in shadows once more...
Peter Winstanley
