Always Approaching: Collaboration with Steve in Andrea's Mole


Always Approaching: Collaboration with Steve in Andrea's Mole. This was a difficult challenge and I'm afraid I basically failed. I was trying to make something out of Steve's Jackson Polluck without disturbing what he had done, but though I scanned it and manipulated it with many images on photoshop, there were so many lines that I was unable to find anything that showed through them all. I finally decided on a skull, since Andrea had mentioned skulls, but even something as simple as that doesn't show through very well. But, here it is. I may try a different approach next time. There are many little fishies and artifacts in shiny silver (done by Steve) that do not show up well in the scan. Click image to view larger, though it is actually easier to see smaller. Also, there are titty objects and other things I could have used, but I was a little overwhelmed.

I don't know about failed Mary! Honestly, I think you killed it, and I mean that in a good way. Really, this is freakin' spectacular. Killed it! :)

OH, Thanks, Steve, thanks so muuch--I was afraid you'd think I ruined your lovely abstract.

Thanks.
