So I happened to discover the fun art of the scanogram while working on my digital book assignment this past week. I haven't delved deeply into the concept yet, but it was exciting to experiment with a new process, and I think there might be something to the graphic and yet un-photographic image that is created from the scans. I also think this may be the way to use the stitches and my photographs to create gestures and architectural spaces around and through my body. I have this strange feeling that this may be the bridge I've been looking for to mesh my body and architecture. I also really appreciate the manipulative way the digital artifacts can make my own image fade in and out. By using the transparency of the photographic image I am visually reconstructing and rendering an object that otherwise could not be altered by my hands.
