Gordon Magnin was born in 1978. He is well known for using Photoshop to create collages out of found images. The majority of Magnin's work is creating high fashion editorial with his alternative twist. He distorts a face by creating a pattern by rotating an identical shapes taken from the face.
Magnin usually uses different portraits and cuts geometrical shapes out. Then he rotates them in a variety of ways to create a new image, with a new personality. He creates a puzzle for the audience to create with their mind. |

For this development, I tried 'Rainbow Milk' where you pour some milk into the dish, enough to cover the bottom of the dish. Add a few drops of food dye to the milk. Dab the end of the cotton bud into the washing up liquid. Finally, dip the cotton bud into the milk and the washing up liquid moves the milk and colour around.
|
The science behind it :
Milk contains fats and proteins. When the washing up liquid comes into contact with the milk it weakens the chemical bonds between the fats, proteins and the rest of the milk.The soap then attaches to the fat in the milk. The soap molecules are moving round trying to find fat molecules to attach to. We can see this happening because of the food colouring; the soap and fat molecules bump into the food dye molecules causing them to move around. It will stop when all of the soap is mixed with the milk |
Edward Horsford is a London based designer, technologist and photographer rolled into one.
I am focusing on his 'Balloons' project where he experimented and investigated how everyday objects look at high-speed. Things we've all seen, and yet haven't seen. In this project he took 'High-speed shots of water balloons at the point of bursting.' |

Bruce Boyd is a young artist based in Cape Town, South Africa. He grew up in a house full of flowers; his mother picked and arranged them, and his father painted them. The entire house was decorated with these pictures, meaning the entire family was constantly surrounded by flowers. Photographer Bruce Boyd takes beautiful photos of flowers suspended in ice. He likes taking photos of flowers in ice because it allows him to "preserve beauty" and freeze a "fleeting moment."
For my response, i froze roses into cubes of ice and photographed them. |

Irving Penn was an American photographer known for his fashion photography, portraits, and still life's.
For my development I am focusing on his frozen project, where he froze different fruits and vegetables in ice blocks then stacked and photographed them. For my development I put oranges and strawberries in ice cubes and stacked and photographed them amongst the frozen flowers I had from my last development. |
DINING ROOM / ENVIRONMENT, 1971
This instillation is which Vieira produced between 1971-1972 where the shapes of objects and furniture recognisable from the domestic interior are now simulated, spray-painted in blue on the dozen white sheets that make up the perimeter of the divide: a wall clock, console, dresser, chest of drawers with candelabra, door, curtained window, two oval pictures of flowers, and a chair. All of these accessories belong inside, but, seen from the outside, they make this space appear familiar and strange at the same time. |
