The single most important thing I learned from visual exercise #3 was the significance of choosing a correct framing style. There were some obvious bad framing choices, such as the people who used frames laying around the house, like Ivo's shiny gold frame. But there were also other types of frames that were quite nice, that just did not work well with the photograph inside. I was also really intrigued with the discussion of mat colors, and the use of a dark grey mat instead of stark black.
For my own work I think that simple is best. I have been experimenting with alternative frameworks, but have not come to a conclusion on what I think will work best. I really enjoy the incorporation of resin and layering although. Maybe something to experiment with further at another time and on another project....

Have you given your presentation any more thought since this experiment? I was very interested with your smaller piece you had displayed with wood, layers of transparent material and your images. I think that small of a size is a bit too small for your work, but I like the idea of layers peeling back from the image, it engages me and makes me aware of what a personal project this has turned into for you.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting how your images start to transform what I am at a certain distance away from them. They morph into a structure. At first I did not see that the image was projected on to you, That is when i suggested that maybe you project yourself on to the buildings. I love this Idea, Let me know when you start working with it I would love to see the results.
