As a key artist reference to my work, Dafna Talmor’s Constructed Landscape project has a been a massive influence to my final images and work in general. The way Talmor cuts up her images is a more manual way from what I did. She refers to her technique as slicing, splicing and merging. The way I created my images was through the use of the magic wand tool in photoshop, I made sure that I didn’t create straight line cuts and made very rough tear like cuts to replicate the process that Talmor did.
Also something I picked up from Talmor’s work, was the natural side to her work, in her actual images she’s taken photos in woods and on beaches. But to contrast her work slightly, I went to an urban landscape (carpark) and took photos for my images there too.
Another contrast to her work is that her work uses natural colours that fit in with her natural photos, and I used really vibrant colours to represent the combination of urban and landscape.
