Making Session with Sukie Sagoo-Reddy –
Today we had another making session with Sukie Sagoo Reddy. This was a really welcome break from writing and I always enjoy Sukie’s workshops as they give a lot of food for thought. It was interesting that the workshop was very similar to the one we did a few weeks ago (Zoom Session 22), because this gave me the opportunity to see if I had improved at all? A link to the slides from this workshop and the original workshop are here. These always prove useful to refer back to. As with the first session we uploaded an image that covered the 5 senses. I couldn’t find one of my own in time so I used one from the internet. However for the second task I managed to find two images which had a connection.
Little Bee and Floral Pattern
I chose the images below because the little bee is one of my favourite images that I have shot and the floral pattern seemed to work with it. My thinking was flowers and bees.
Moving on from there we looked once again at the theme of chasing shadows. I think that my attempt this time was much better than last time. I even decided to add some digital elements after the session which I think made it more interesting.
Chasing Shadows
Below is my finished digital piece. I used a glass bird feeder bowl to create the shadows and then I later added a border to make it more interesting.
Invisible
The final task in the workshop was to choose a theme from a number of themes and quickly come up with some imagery to reflect it. I chose the theme invisible. I took three items and I used their reflections to create an image. Once again, I added a digital frame to make the piece more visually interesting. My thinking behind the piece was that the objects were invisible yet they still left their mark through the shadows they cast. I used a pair of sunglasses, a bottle of perfume and a glass orb. Please see below for the finished result. I think out of everything I created today this is my favourite. I hope to do more sessions with Suki and I will be keeping an eye out for these.
