Description
Inspired by artists who make these fantastic creations using a scanner (called Scanner Art) and the song Lucy in the Sky. A young girl dreams of soaring out amongst the stars and planets of the universe.
I set out to create the same effect but wanted to use a camera. Propped a 24x36 empty picture frame on two bar stools, sprinkled glass bead stars, glass diamonds, and had my eldest lay her head down spreading the hair around. I then covered her with deep blue glittery fabric. The 'shooting star' and 'sun' are accidental reflections from the light shining on the glass during exposure time. When I saw this exposure I fell in love with it even though it is not perfect. There is beauty in imperfection.
