Take a wedding photograph, new parents standing proudly before their new home, a twisted wedding band from the next generation, and a placid bay at low tide states away....I used four photographs for this one, playing around the most (color changes, transparencies, layering) with the one in which my parents pose before the house where I grew up.
The sunburst pattern comes from different color and other treatments of the photo I took at Dorchester Bay, part of a larger panorama shot. I used PowerPoint to set what I had inside an oval, whose border I wanted to be gold-toned. For that effect I used color manipulation and duplication of small sections of my old wedding band, which I had sawed through and twisted into a Mobius strip shortly after I began living on my own. Further manipulations of those sections form the outer border of the entire piece -- around repeated images of my parents' color-reversed and further-altered wedding photo.
