Hi, My name is Marjorie Pesek and I am a Layered Imagery Artist. welcome to my first blog. I am new to this whole blogging thing, so bear with me if I make any first time blogging mistakes.
I thought I would tell you about what I do for my first post. Layered Imagery is my name for the technique I developed and have been practicing for over 20 years, in which I hand assemble hundreds of photographic images into a single detailed work of art. Each piece takes several intensive weeks to create. It is a passionate process for me of making sense out of chaos.
I call my work Layered Imagery because it describes both the emotional experience of the viewer as well as my physical process of creating each piece by cutting, pasting and overlapping the images. I am trying to capture layers of life: to tell a story of the various experiences of the subject, create a mood, and reflect a moment.
It describes the viewer discovering that this is not a painting but are layers of photographs made into one full portrait and of him/her joyfully finding those special photos within that celebrate the subject. It is also the emotion that comes from those I create portraits for of their loved family members or pet with the memorable images of that subject woven within.
Layered Imagery is to see beyond what is on the surface. It is to look deeper and not just see a tree and see only the leaves and the branches but to see faces, flowers, bees, balloons or pens. There are millions of possible pictures that we can create with our minds. Like when you look at the clouds and see sailboats, animals or angles.
