Dream Caused By A
Hoverfly
2010
Tools: Acrylic, canvas, black ink, paper, scanner, Photoshop &
digital SLR camera.
Drawing, painting and photographic elements have been combined to
create this piece. It was started in 2008 as an acrylic painting and
then completed on Photoshop. The only part of the original
painting that still remains is the tiger and fish, which were
influenced by a painting by Salvador Dali - 'Dream Caused by the
Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate One Second Before Awakening'
(1944). - Which is where the name of my work comes from. Other
images were inspired by photographs that I have taken in the last
few years, although the figure is not based on anyone in particular.
