"...this is how it is when only alice knows your world is paper houses, how you're scalded by what steams & how kind she looks while everything you knew is washed away." -tyratae
A friend-of-a-friend whom I've never met wrote that poem before this piece was finished, and it rings true to the piece. The interesting thing that she and I have in common is the model I used for Alice. It's a small family in a smaller world, and some people, like this woman who felt the piece as strongly as I do, are much better at using words.
Nothing in this piece is an accident. The model has always keenly related to Alice - chaotic, idealistic-without-foundation, always testing her own boundaries. More than anything, I created this so I could come to terms with and appreciate those qualities in her- to claw beneath layers of discomfort and love her for who she is and who she aspires to be. So I can relate this image to her in my waking mind. I hope she sees something of herself in it too. She said it captured her perfectly.
Technically I approached this in a giant mental canvas before ever laying down the first penstroke. The original inspiration to 'tackle' an Alice in Wonderland theme came weeks earlier from a friend in fashion school who'd asked me to photograph an Alice line she was creating.
I wanted to create a 'calm before the storm' atmosphere, with an ominous sky that still let remnants of blinding sun show through. The houses of cards needed to be carelessly situated but structurally sound enough to still be standing. I used a lot more contrast (huzzah for the levels palette, right?) in this than most of my earlier work.
I hope everyone enjoys it and feels it. This feels like a breakthrough for me. |
