Feeling Into - Part 1: Self Portraits
Feeling Into, digital photography, 2018.
Digitally stitching together images of my feet into what I call "No Body Panoramas" (or "No Bod Panos" for short) results in the pinching off of my body and legs which should exist in the middle of the composition. This collaboration between me and the panorama programing results in a variety of intriguing glitches and distortions. Beyond just my delight over the mysteriousness of the program's ability to collage the images together, I also recognize the way I relate to my body in these self portraits. For example, the social behavior pattern where a women shrinks herself to take up less space, and in these self portraits it’s like I’ve succeeded in melting away or compressing myself down to only a pair of feet.
