Goddess Emerging
- Photographic based digital montage – 2007 (no 2 from series of 3).
- Shot two seperate models & P/S combined them. I also draw in & enhanced part of the headpeice, the body, the dress, added a fringe to the face, hid the eyes, made the features more angular, blew up the lips, created cheekbones, reworked the branches, filtered wallpaper effects, extended the chandelier, added lacework/flower elements, desaturated the lot & added a sepia tone. Thank you to both models who wish to remain anonymous.
- Approximately 50 Photoshop layers.
- Just Sometimes (Song of Laughter and Forgetting) by Swervedriver – entered in Red Bubble ‘songmanip07 – Musical Photo Competition’.
- So many great entries. Regards to all for voting for this peice- JUST FAB TO WIN the photo manipulation category!

Kim Shillington, about 1 year ago
This is digital art at its best, not only do you take all the images but you compile something magical with a finished vision in mind. A very sensual and moving piece Ange, you are very talented and your students would do well to have you as a teacher. I love the tones in this one again, well done:)

Indeed this is a magnificent piece of art! I’m only just learning how to do all these layered works, so this is inspiring to me! I’m honoured to be in your list of favourites! Best thing about listing peoples favs is I can find new artists that I might not have found otherwise!

so much delicate detail. must have taken for ever. the result is just beautiful…
Ange, 10 months ago
Thanks JaniceElanor. It’s part of a series & initially it took about 2wks on/off working on it but I’ve re-worked it this year over a few hours late one evening.
Naomi Kevin, 10 months ago

PennyEdwardes, 10 months ago
Now THAT is a stunning piece of work! You could stare at it for hours and still find something new and beautifull to look at! The colours are perfect…...exquisite!
Bridgett Ferguson, 10 months ago
I love the color and textures. A gorgeous piece indeed!
Ange, 10 months ago
thank you penny & plasmatwin:)
Bernd Jansons, 10 months ago
This has to come close to the most number of comments I’ve seen for a piece and for good reason. The blindfold adds some many possibilites and I really like the way her clothes are draped. And, or course, there’s lots to try to attach meanings to in the ground. For me the overall mood is dark, but sensual and intimate. Very nice.
Ange, 10 months ago
Thank you very much Bernd.

It is a very impressive,finding the balance..was it easy or did it get you almost insane?You know what I mean!?....”some pictures!!!”....
Ange, 9 months ago
hi marco, no i didnt go insane. i guess with age came some sort of balance, the ride is always cool if u know what i mean. cant control life, how you deal with it is all that matters. got a long way to go.
...one thing i do know, got fire in my blood thats for sure!
marco britti, 9 months ago
You sound very Spanish! But very controled too (not so Spanish). I on the other hand I have thrown a few pictures in bin because I just could`nt find the balance. But you know what? I wish I could bring those pictures back!!! Bye now ..Love your energy

Hello Ange, I love this. I did favourite it but forgot to leave a comment. I know some people hate that. I can’t really give some theoretical artistic reason why I love it. I can say I love the complexity of the image. I adore the colour (or should I say the lack of colour). It is elegant, sophisticated and, well, just a great piece of art. Best wishes, Michelle.
