About
the
Artist & STAN UNSER
the
Work This semester challenged me because I don’t read poetry
although I easily related to an owl and snow having grown up
in Minnesota.
My inspiration came from an image that Lyn developed in
Photoshop using superimposed people with adjusted colors
which I imagined using on a 2x3 foot canvas I had. Trying the
same thing myself, however, I ended up with “Umbrella Man”.
A work from last semester based on a grandson’s drawings
recently sold, so I was motivated to continue using that
concept with “Pirate Ted” for my mixed media piece.
Process:
“Umbrella Man” Reversed and overlaying photographs of
people with umbrellas. This was combined with a Library of
Congress plate of walking baboons.
“Pirate Ted” Composite of a grandson’s drawing of the teddy
bear with a background of sticks on a wall photographed at
the “Doseum” in San Antonio.
