Desire and Disgust #13: Final Cut

Last but certainly not least, SVA student Nate Bass sliced and wove together his www.ishotkatemoss.com contribution:
Like a good secret, Nate's work is hard to find, so much so I have yet to locate his web site ...

Having now highlighted all of the SVA student's work individually, it dawned on me that I hadn't attempted to imply the strength of seeing all of the unique and various contributions together.

I was lucky enough to find this wonderful shot of SVA teacher Keren Moscovitch observing a collection of pieces, displayed during the critique. Although not all contributions are exhibited at once, this image begins to capture the intensity of looking at several interpretations of kate simultaneously.

The photo was taken by teaching assistant and prop stylist, Michelle Longo, whose work can be seen at www.michellelongo.com

I was incredibly honored that the iskm project was used by the class, taught by Keren along with Len DeLessio, and was also so pleased to participate in the final review. Most importantly, of course, keep an eye on the work and progress of the wonderful students!

At the end of the class, I was presented with the shreds of a "Kate Moss" book, signed by each student, containing remnants of images of herself that she had in fact originally chosen and curated:
It turns out that the students sourced their kate from this book, leaving me with half a book and plenty of remnants - like a trail of artistic evidence. I will treasure it!

So much so that if anyone out there in the blogosphere wishes to try their hand at observing, slowing down, shooting and submitting to www.ishotkatemoss.com, just like SVA students, please send an email to ishotkatemoss@gmail.com with your name & postal address. We will then send you as close to a complete page from the book for you to adulterate and photograph to your hearts content.

The postage is on us, anywhere in the world, so no excuses ...

Submit ... to www.ishotkatemoss.com
