I found two mixed media photographers/artist - Sally Mankus and Rebecca Sidaway.
Both of there pieces I love as they are different but use layering to create something really unique.
Sally Mankus In creating much of this mixed media work she has used a
process of lifting rust, carbon and markings from charred surfaces (mainly
bakeware). The rust, carbon, and markings become embedded in an acrylic "skin".
These "skins"are translucent and flexible. In addition to using these as
finished pieces sometimes Mankus added other things - image transfers, paint, found
objects. I could follow this stylw by scanning in fabrics which I can collect to layer as a background on Photoshop.
In comparrison Sidaway is still a student trialling and experimenting to create the best images, she looks at different textures and layers them on top of each other to create a fine art styled image. Her purpose is to show the different sites of Bristol and create a personal feeling to share with people. Her images give off the intention of being warm, friendly and vibrant with the colours such as oranges and pinks from the sunset or the textures. Some of her photos have a blue tint to it to make them look like fine art but some are completely contrasted with bold colours such as red and blues which are very dynamic and they show the different styles of Bristol.
