This is an alteration in Photoshop of a collage I did in class using glass, wire, pieces of paper, polystyrene (from a broken cup), ink, tissue and my drawings from the Hunterian Museum. The original was alot clearer and alot more colourful...and gory! However, despite its lack of definable forms I quite like the alteration, I like the fact only the skeleton (which is actually one skeleton with two heads, inspired by the multi-limbed exibits at the museum but looks like two skeletons hugging) and the jars are clear, it makes the collage more mysterious and perhaps frightening - a bit like the specimins in the jars! To create the dark effect on the painting I used a 'filter' called 'Torn Edges'. At first I was looking through the effects to see which one worked best then when I had the chosen effect I adjusted the Image Balance, Smoothness and Contrast.
