Jasper Johns: “Take an object, Do something to it, to something else to it, do something else to it”. Summer, 2022. At a loss for subject matter I took the ordinary objects around our home, you know, the everyday things we all use, cooking utensils,  things that were broken, waiting to be thrown out and photographed each as a digital image, imported each image in Photo Shop as a separate file. These were the everyday objects of our lives. Nothing special.  The images, some whole some altered  were composed in Photo Shop in a separate file to be worked on, altered, added to combined with others, put through filters, contrast adjusted.  The first image, #1, are  of objects that were just haphazardly placed in a pile., #2, objects were altered and placed in a composition, #3, Broken Things,  an ordinary  teapot , the image taken apart in Photoshop and arranged in a composition,  the subtext /destruction.
