A water, once so clear, like the air, like the sky, like the wind that blew though me. It became so colorful, like a burning sunset or like the sun hitting the water from down below. It was captivating. It drew me in, let me swim in the lights as it changed. Chanting an endless tune that held no sound. I couldn't help but feel as though it was started to darken. Blue turned to Red, Red turned to Green, Green turned to Black... As if the light had been shrouded by my fears, by something I didn't know. A fear of shadows... a fear of black...A fear of something that I didn't know.I just stared into the black void, unable to read anything. It was a black hole then, endless turning, churning in an infinite and unseen spiral. Drawing away from my light. It took away the sun, it took away the fire, it took away it's once clear nature and yet....it isn't as empty as before. It once danced with a jumble of blue and red. A shadow of green intertwined, it consumed and exploding it's colors soon lost within it. I don't think I could see as it was destroyed. It faded as quick as it came... I was...confused, I think. Why were all three of those colors consumed by one another.... So confused....by that unknown darkness. I looked, feeling as though my heart corresponded with the shadows that had taken light. I felt as though my breathe wasn't coming. It wasn't as easy to breathe when I eyes were locked on that blackness.I don't know why. It just refused to go, as if to not blow away the shadows that consumed that clear water. Red...Blue...and Green all combined to form that shadow, dancing in an infinite and lost loop of dance that held no sound, no tune, no melody. It was sickeningly beautiful,even as the light was bounced out, eradicated from it's once clear space.

Hybrid Bird

An exercise borrowed from “I’ve Got a Human in My Throat” by Chris Johnson.
In preparation for our PERSONAL METAPHOR project we brushed up our skills combining objects together. Using layer masks and the clone stamp we blended this dog and bird together.
