Tony Wood: Nude Distortions

Wednesday, April 25th, 2012

Long Legged Nude

I grew up with the conventions of rebelling. I remember seeing the first Playboys when I was 6. I had 4 older brothers. The ideal bodies, with their standardized and unlikely proportions bore me now. I have great fun creating impossible bodies that defy gravity and biology. I’ve always had a fascination with distortion. Hendrix, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, the distorted realities of William Burroughs, Joel Peter Witkins and Terry Gilliam have all been important Art for me. Minor White said there were 2 kinds of photographers, “those who like reality the way it is and those who are dissatisfied with the world as it is”.

The definition of photography has undergone a huge redefinition. With the digitalization of the world we are seeing once separate visual mediums merging and over-lapping in unexpected ways. I took a photography class with Jerry Uelsmann in the 80′s – where he described how he merged multiple images with a 6 enlarger darkroom. Before Photoshop it was rare to find photographers working this way. The digital application has opened up the possibility of controlling everything that makes up an image, much like a synthesizer can effect every component of sound. The photographer decides the color pallet, not Kodak. Images, colors, textures, tones can all be layered, collaged and merged in new ways that were impossible a couple decades ago.
