VeraJane Vickers a/k/a CatnessGrace lives in the African Bush, and uses her own or public domain images to make something new.
She describes her process as follows:
What catches my eye is quality of light, unusual angles and details, silhouettes, decay-the exquisite beauty one can find in decaying objects and structures,cats,of course:-))
“With my photography and digital art it is the same as when I was doing arts+crafts-i do not just see an object as it IS-i see in my mind what it can BECOME.For instance, I would take a glass bottle, decoupage a cat shape around it using toilet-paper(more malleable than traditional method) paint it and finish with a glossy transparent spray-paint…The fun is to make the object-whether a palpable object-or an image captured on camera-become more than what it is.”
