Deep Ecology 04 - Studies in double exposure

Double exposure is a photography technique that blends two separate worlds into one dreamlike scene. These works explore the subconscious connection of nature to the act of making abstract art. It combines an abstract watercolor painting and photography featuring a series of delicate leaves which becomes colored in shades of blue, green and white from the watercolor painting. The background is white, highlighting the subject and accentuating the colors. The colors of the watercolor painting and original photo overlap, creating shading that enhance the natural feel of the subject. The layered, textural feel of this techinque of combining paintings with photography create and interesting interplay of light, shadow and color, adding soft contrast. The artwork exudes a dreamy and tranquil atmosphere, with the ethereal quality of the layers contributing to a sense of simplicity and elegance. The cool-toned hues, consisting primarily of pale blue and green, suggest a connection with nature and may evoke feelings of relaxation and comfort for the viewer.
