103 - Old Poland


103 - Old Poland

I played around with an image from the local village museum to create what at first looks like a replica of one of those old postcards - except a closer examination reveals that it has a very much different textture close up.

The past is a playground for our minds, material that people believe they understand and which we can use to convey meaning. This is the first in a digression away from my path, although like so often I can only recognise it as such now that some time has passed since I worked on this image. Here the apparent and the actual images diverge, are separated. Being distant and far from the image are no longer so strongly related.
