Conflicting technologies

Allotment montage 

For the past few weeks I have been attending a course on photomanipulation using Photoshop. I have enjoyed refreshing my knowledge and at the same time am aware of my desire to go back in time to ‘old technology’. To this end I am now the proud owner of a second-hand electric typewriter. I relish this experience in a different and contrasting way to Photoshop. I see my Fine Art practice as embracing the new alongside the old and to this end  am definitely keeping all my options open as well as annoying all around with that relentless tapping of the keys in keeping with traditional forms of communication.

Here is an example of what I did today at the class, based on some photos at the allotment when we were a bit keener to get our hands in the soil.
