Nadiv Kandar

How do we really know where an idea comes from?

I thought the evolution from my flesh coloured alien hands to green ones and then to the cloth doll was inspired by the fact that I was calling the project Alien Body Parts and that I saw the piece of coloured tissue paper lying around. However, over the last week or so I have been looking at a number of photographer’s websites including Nadiv Kandar www.nadavkander.com

My outdoor night-time shots were definitely inspired by his Colour Fields project, but perhaps his work has been playing on my subconscious more than I realised.
