Playing with soft fades and hiding the image with more from that shoot. Trying to write as-well maybe less successfully not sure 🤔

This one from a load of negatives digitally scanned by @kiricoueda . Apparently from a dead photographer who used to do pinup shoots and one of them is his wife but not sure which one several more coming
Another one this time from 8mm projection “stamped with approval” starring jean Wilson “a junoesque beauty in revealing negligee” who on trying to post a letter letter loses her stamp and “everything comes off in the ensuing search”
Another one! this time sourced from photo stills from the old Japanese pink film “woods are wet - women hell” a philosophical take on the BDSM genre in which Sadiean conversations on the limits of personal freedom and systemic exploitation are scattered throughout the more hardcore elements. From my collection of bits picked up in Tokyo where bookshops often sell less conservative items aswell!
Thinking of selling some of these as-well on the cheap if anyones interested DM me !
A short video by Cameron Leys of the final day of painting the mural in Pymmes Park. Interviews with some of the artists and volunteers involved about the process the local area and the finished work.
Finished mural project in Edmonton Pymmes park had to get Drone footage by my brother cameron leys to properly get a sense of the scale and how it works as a whole wraparound work mirroring the relationship of nature and the urban that surrounds it.
created with @bloomin_great and @adolanart_ who made it happen as-well as volunteers @anolue_art@c.s.lake_art@kiricoueda as well as many other wonderful local volunteers.
