Scanography - not the most appealing photos

[Emma Pugh]

I'm an experimenter and it's what I do best!
These are done by simply pressing my face and moving the skin etc around to create the 'squashed effect' on my scanner at home, inpsired by Jenny Saville - she's a fantastic artist!

I can see how they are inspired by Jenny Saville's work. I think they ARE appealing, Emma.

 

[Emma Pugh]

I really enjoyed doing them, it's great fun. Thanks.

Wow - doesn't that get very bright while the scanner is running?

 

[Pete Askew]

Excellent Emma, especially the first one. I'm surprised it's not brighter though.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

That's very good!
Just image if someone you didn't know walked in whilst you were doing that?!

[Chris Dodkin]

Pete, LMAO!

 

[Emma Pugh]

Pahah Dan, luckily they didn't
And Chris, it did but Isquinted my eyes whilst doing so it wasn't too bad.
