Rosslynd Piggot - Tracing Sky.

This is an extremely dramatic natural wonder captured. The monochromatic and contrasting effects add to this depth and emotive power.

Ideas presented in class over the last few weeks that intrigued me.

a fragmented event.
non-linearity of the memories associated with space.
time isn’t linear, fragmentation.
narratives forming between objects.
the idea of surfaces building up over time, layering over time.
movement and transition of time.
the interrelations of surfaces.
removal and addition happening simultaneously.
time + light as forces of destruction.
remnants of what was - the present and the past. 
subtle shift in atmosphere - an object mapping that.
repetition creating a connectivity.
where the sublime comes from, rather than how?
getting lost in the everyday.
generative, productive, active, of time.
element of restraint - egoless, beyond yourself.
subtlety, allows it to be.
reference rather than replicate.
fragility.
site/sight/cite.
creating a sense of wonder in scale.
disorientating perspective and depth.
Human implied interior, interior implies human.
the beauty of everyday objects.
distillation of thinking.
the invisibility of silence, something you persue but never reach.
heightened sense.
properties of nature that we start to form a relationship with.
le corbusier - modular of space - creating a space for a specific person.
 

Matt Niebuhr - The Western Sand Dollar.

“…examining the threshold at which ordinary visibility ends and perception begins…”

This work is really similar to the proposal that I produced for Blindside. The idea of placing a natural found object in a stark white surrounding removing any notions of context. 

Todd Hido - 5157

A barren landscape, so rich in surface, the light is mysterious and gloomy, it is incredible emotive.

Todd Hido - 2548b

There is a more detailed performance of light in this space, it hints at more than just an abandoned room, there is more of a sense that this space has been inhabited in some way. I am intrigued by this light becoming an integral interior element, as a surface and an object that inhabits the space, perhaps only occasionally, however it exists.

Todd Hido - 1927a

Looking at the play of light on a domestic surface. There is a real distillation in the space, with all the interior elements being removed, allowing the surfaces to perform as they would without any determinate obstacles.

Diane Tuft - Abyss of Time

There is such an allusiveness of scale, a real beauty in the vastness of a landscape or the macro qualities of an element - regardless of where this image is taken, it holds incredible expressive qualities of surface in the subtleties and gentleness in what has been captured.

Diane Tuft - Icelandic Glaciers #3

Diane Tuft - Extrasolar.

This is such a beautiful photograph, creating art by framing a surface.

Alison Dalwood

This work creates a really unusual effect, you aren’t quite sure whether you are looking at a photograph or a reflective surface posed as art, changing as the conditions in the surroundings do.

"…the internal infinity becomes inaccessible and inexpressible."
