make a collage on your scanner. scan it in and post it! alter it in photoshop if you would like... or scan some objects and photoshop them together! here's my first digital collage, collage 001. i would be interested to hear thoughts/feedback/responses to it, specifically if you feel there is a narrative! this is my first assignment for graduate level digital craft. when i get my hands on CS2, beware! right now i am stuck using PS7.

Cool collage, thanks for sharing!
As far as a narrative...
I think the message of the fortune makes me think of all the hopes that the pregnant mother has for her baby and wondering if they will come true - but then the teeth add a little complexity to the meaning. hmm....

When I first saw the collage (over on your LJ), it didn't even register that this particular belly happens to be a pregnant one. I blithely constructed a nice little anti-patriarchy narrative (what with the teeth = body image issues and the desires in the fortune going every which way). Then, I read the comments and realized that the belly is pregnant. I'm going to head back to the drawing board, although...with the teeth and the desire and the position of pregnant bodies and mothers in America, I'm pretty certain that my narrative will still be anti-patriarchy.

It's disturbing that we get our bodies scanned so much. It reminds me of when I had cancer. I don't really want to know what's going on inside my body...Kelli
