Creative Process 5

 Combining the spirits sculptures with photographs of trees or a house became a very exciting project involving photography and photoshop techniques.
 I found a group of photographs taken by Enrique Rodriguez Boulan in Maine. Some of them take place at the Olsen's House near Rockport, Maine. This house belonged to a family that Andrew Wyeth was close to when he was painting in that area. Both the exterior and interior of the house inspired him to paint very beautiful watercolors.
The house is now open to the public and a visit to it shows the corners, rooms and light that Andrew Wyeth found visually and probably emotionally mesmerizing.
To me these photographs are great as background for the assembly with the spirits sculptures because they portrayed the house as an old, empty and mysterious place. It couldn't be a better place to be occupied by spirits.
Here are two pictures assembled from interior photographs of the house.
