Terror
Image by PATRICK BOEHNER
I was assigned to revisit the subject of terror again (the first time I had to re-title them Fear and Hope).
I have mixed feelings about the work, less about the final result (though granted it has many flaws) but by the process it to get to this final image. It ended up being a last minuet endeavor. To keep a long story short I let myself, as I keep doing, get dragged down by trying to prefect a concept for the image rather than the image itself. I drew blanks as to how to visualize the things that terrify me and those that I did come up with were vague. Its something I keep doing to myself. In the end I through out the concept all together, kept some visual ideas that had been floating around and set my self the task of making an image that expressed "terror" only from what I could scan or recycle from past projects.
This is what came out. Its always isolation, lack of definition and thus control or sense of self.
