Loose Threads
Spring, 2025
Photoshop
For this project I thought it would be interesting to use my own photography and sculpture. I’m looking at the shadows and the light and how they interact. The background image is of the stairs and handrail outside of my neighbors house. On top of that I applied a photo of a wooden sculpture. I also layered in a photo of fabric. I chose Swirl random lines from Openclipart to make a pattern that I placed over the entire image because I liked the marks and how free they were, I thought they contrasted well with the heaviness of the sculpture and the handrail. I titled the work Loose Threads because of the thinness of lines in the pattern also the threads that are visible from the photo of fabric in the lower-left corner of the image.

Really trippy… kinda feels like something on old parchment paper that we weren’t meant to find and have no hope of truly understanding.
