Description
Compositography may not show up in any dictionary, but is how I term those works of mine that are made from other photos of mine.
The title of this piece comes from the mysterious figures shrouded in white.
They are actually sculptures found in an abandoned mining town called Rhyolite Nevada, just outside of Death Valley.
They were meant to represent the "Last Supper" The artists had come from Belgium to work in a less puritanical society and were led by Albert Szukalski.
I wanted to make my original photo a bit more surreal and hoped to create the illusion of them, seemingly in the sky surrounded by and moving on clouds.
Sky colors were taken with an I Phone and the sculptures were shot with a camera converted to Infrared.
