We work collaboratively in our creations constantly throwing ideas back and forth from the collection of source materials initiation of an idea through to final conclusion and print We appreciate a wide range of art particularly the surreal dada and elegiac image Passionate in our collection of nostalgic junk we relish the regular forage at skips and dumps car boot sales and second hand shops where we collect inspiration for our digital dreams We are like magpies br Most certainly digital advancements have enabled the dawn of a new artistic era still in its infancy but vastly expanding The computer enables the artist to make real their wildest fantasies or darkest fears This is what we aim to achieve in our artwork sometimes in a beautiful and poetic way at other times in the more wild and hideous of ways or maybe a comfortable juxtaposition of the two The techniques used by the digital artist are no different from the skills employed by the potter painter sculptor photographer or printmaker It must be remembered that the computer remains a creative tool that only the human being can control Image editing software enables us to explore mixed media without any fear of failure It offers the artist to experiment with realism and abstraction to the nth degree Each of our images comprises of dozens of layers and every separate piece is tweaked to absolute perfection within the composition The real difficulty for us is actually knowing where to stop Our artwork takes us on unplanned journeys as each piece develops organically over substantial time before we are happy to release the fully fledged article images ©copyright Waterhouse/wazejewski 2443
