ink

Posted by lissa (New York, United States) on 1 September 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual.

This is a paper that I pull out of a printer with the ink all smeared. It was dirty and messy but I like the shape it formed. It was scanned in instead of photograph. I didn't have a camera then. I can't remember what type of printer it was or where it was. It was not my printer. I did play with the contrast, colors and the cropping in Photoshop. It was originally in black ink.

I see an elephant playing in the water. What do you see?

@Faramarz: It is a paper that came out of a printer - it was pull out because it got jam and this is the result with the ink all smeared.

@aggie: I didn't think much about what it look like until I play with it in Photoshop. I didn't change anything - just the color though.

Thanks Aggie for visiting.

@YTSL: How odd, you would think that. I search the web for an image of the Shroud of Turin - there is some resemblance.

I see an x-ray of the rib cage (human). Very artistic and interesting take on this week's theme.

Lovely. Looks like a huge painting. Would make a nice series to have a few of them.

@Elspeth: Sadly, this was the only image that I had. I have thrown the paper away as the ink was coming off and I couldn't preserve it as it is.

Thanks for dropping by.
