artist statement for manipulation project: when i think of manipulation in terms of art, i usually think about an image that has been altered to change the initial reaction of the viewer. after thinking manipulation over more fully, i decided to go about it differently for this specific project. i started with an image taken with a holga camera, changed the saturation etc in photoshop and framed the image to look like it was fading into black. i then screen printed text and design that relate to the image.
