I am going to look at different artists that could give me inspiration for a 'flower' related final outcome.
Roberta Bailey
Roberta Bailey creates these interesting images by scanning in flowers. Her work celebrates their mysterious beauty and showcases their intricate design. She explains her technique as follows. "I start by arranging the flowers in a clear container (glass or plastic) on top of the scanner (I take off the scanner lid). Then I make preliminary previews and zooms while adjusting the composition with a toothpick and tweezers before scanning... After I have made a few dozen scans of different compositions with the same elements, I select my favorite(s) to complete in Photoshop. Some images take only a few hours, while others may take a few days to complete. For me, the most important part of the process is playing with new and different scanning and Photoshop ideas." I like the way the scanner creates folds and creases in the flowers and the way this creates interesting patterns. The beautiful colours are also enticing.
I could use this idea myself by scanning in images of flowers and overlaying them with images of Hulme in Photoshop. I could also scan in photographs of Hulme with flowers/petals already laid on top.
