\"Back<\/a><\/p>\n

With today\u2019s abundance of technology and amazing gadgets, it\u2019s easy to forget about the humble piece of paper! Despite having a cell phone, I still use a good, old-fashioned diary to write down all of my daily tasks and appointments; I still write little reminder notes to myself and leave them on the kitchen table if there\u2019s a small, miscellaneous thing I need to do. Thank goodness we don\u2019t yet live in a paperless society \u2013 if we did, I\u2019d never have had the pleasure of creating \u2018Back in the Fold\u2019.<\/p>\n

Ever Versatile Card and Paper<\/h4>\n

Anything and everything are fair game for my photography and pieces of card and paper are no exception.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Flower wrapping paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This multi-coloured paper was originally wrapped around some beautiful flowers which my husband bought for me. Once the flowers were spent, I kept the paper, thinking it might come in handy for a photo shoot one day. What attracted me the most was the interplay of green and pink \u2013 I liked how the colours complemented each other.<\/p>\n

This must have been stewing in my subconscious for a while because after a few weeks I remembered I had some green card which was the same colour as the green side of the paper. I grabbed it and decided I would combine this with the paper’s pink side. Now, having two flat pieces of card and paper is not very exciting. So, I got creative, cutting and folding sections of the card to make it more three-dimensional.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Folded card<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So far so good. Taking advantage of a beautiful sunny and windless day, I ventured outside and placed my props on top of our picnic table. Of course, shadows now came into play with the bright sunlight. That was perfect. I had great fun experimenting by placing the card on subtly different angles to see what effect that would have with the shadow lines.<\/p>\n

\"\"

After reviewing my images from the shoot, I finally selected this one. With a few tweaks to improve the colours and contrast, the final version became \u2018Runaway Construction\u2019.<\/p>\n

A Triptych Touch<\/h3>\n

For a few years, that\u2019s how the image remained. But I can\u2019t resist keeping my triptych fingers off my images for long. With its strong geometric shapes and interplay of lines, \u2018Runaway Construction\u2019 fitted the bill perfectly for some additional triptych tinkering.<\/p>\n

The first crop was pretty straightforward. I\u2019d need something solid for the bottom panel.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Bottom Panel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the top panel I wanted to include as much of the intricate shadow effects as possible.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Top Panel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As it turned out, there was a degree of overlap within the panels. I\u2019m definitely not averse to doing this if it\u2019s employed for sound compositional reasons.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Panel overlap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

However, two panels do not a triptych make! There was really only one viable choice \u2013 to create a mirror image of the top section using a \u2018T cut\u2019 construction.<\/p>\n

\"'Back<\/a>
‘Back in the Fold’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I must confess, I was a little dubious as to whether this would work as there was the potential for the triptych to be unbalanced. There\u2019d be nothing supporting the bottom of the top right panel. However, when I saw the final result, I was thrilled. With daredevil, gravity-defying poise and balance, the whole image seems to remain \u2018standing\u2019. To this day, I haven\u2019t been able to work out why! But sometimes, a little mystery in life\u2019s a good thing\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2018Back in the Fold\u2019 is not my only triptych using paper as the source material. If you\u2019d like to see another example, please visit \u2018Exposed #8\u2019<\/a> on \u2018Astral Plane and \u2018Mystique\u2019.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
