fever dream, 4

Well.

This poor bride. Not only are sleeves, her hair, her headdress, and her veil so big they barely fit in the picture, but her parents are lurking over there in the corner in a way that seems sort of predatory.

And then there’s the whole eyeball situation.

fever dream 3

 

I can neither explain nor defend what happened here. What I can say is that it made me laugh and it made me a little frightened .

Side Note: the morning after he’d seen this image, my spouse reported that he’d had a dream about his mother and in the dream her face was gone.

fever dream 2

If you’d ever wondered what would happen if you scanned a negative as a negative (instead of turning it into a positive) and then did a pile of edit-y things to it – this can (potentially) give you some answers.

Or other could haunt your dreams.

Or – if it’s your lucky day – both of those things could happen.

fever dream, 1

Way back in time, during the COVID era, a photography studio in a neighboring town went out of business. They sold the props, the backdrops, the shelves. And boxes and boxes of negatives.

I bought some of the negatives with the idea that I’d do something with them someday.

Someday turns out to be: right now.

My imagination runs wild when I start manipulating these negatives, and I hope you’ll let yours do the same.
