Artists:
Robert Heinecken
Robert Heinecken was an American artist who referred to himself as a “paraphotographer” because he so often made photographic images without a camera. He was born on October 29th, 1931, in Colorado, US and died on May 19th, 2006 in New Mexico, US.
I chose him as one of my artists for this project because I enjoyed his photo sculptures. I liked the way he pieces his images together. It looks like he takes different close up photographs of the same subject and them assembles them in a random order in a way that u can still tell what the image is but also not.

Letha Wilson
Letha Wilson is a mixed media artist who works in photography and sculpture. She was born in 1976, in Honolulu, Hawaii, raised in Colorado, and currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. She received her BFA from Syracuse University and her MFA from Hunter College, she also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2009.
I chose Letha Wilson because I like how she uses layers in her work and makes the final product look almost like an abstract puzzle. I like the contrast between her images and I want to achieve something like that by piecing my images in a similar way as her.
