"Tye Dyed Asylum"
This was a fun piece; this was done several years ago. The original size was 2’X3’. I don’t have it any more because someone stole it for personal collection.
Any way the piece was done up as a college (several images combined) Barney and ALF are the key characters here. The image of Barney was of him barbed wired to a fence and ignited (I did not produce this image)I saw it on a magazine page so I used it.
Next image, the one of Alf was an image that was on a clip board the text with the image was “Why be normal” I photo copied that and put it with Barney.
Then I found Beavis and Butthead laughing in a small strip … yeah I couldn’t resist, so I’m revealing myself here, so what.
I took these images played on a Xerox machine; you know the slow ones from the 90s, one color ink at a time. The machine gave me plenty of time to slide the images to get a variety of effects, by moving it during and in between scans. The copier became my favorite toolfor several of my pieces during that time - Wish I was smart enough to hang on to them beyond class assignments
I cut, paste and painted it. Most crazy piece I have ever done I think, the idea of the images is what makes it more disturbing than the actual image. Honestly can you pick out what I mentioned?
Don’t analyze the piece you’ll only hurt yourself.
