Framing

 "The frame is in no way a background...but neither is its thickness as margin a figure. Or at least it is a figure which comes away of its own accord."~ Jacques Derrida

Ceiling

For this project, I chose to photograph the ceiling of my room. This picture portrays framing in the sense that each tile square is framed out from another tile square. We can see the borders that separate each tile from another. Although this may seem bland and boring I like to look at this picture in a different way. The separation of these tiles creates an organized and solid foundation for the ceiling. Together they create a solid and complete wall whereas one would do nothing on its own. "A well-designed interface is both visible and invisible," (Lupton 100). This photo embodies this quote by Lupton because the framing of the ceiling could go unnoticed hence the similar color scheme between the tiles and the borders separating each tile. It feels good knowing that the sturdy foundation of these borders and tiles won't fall on me in the middle of the night. I can thank "framing" for that.

    Oh god, I feel like I was just sent back to campus seeing this image. I'm currently off campus so seeing this image really brought me back to sophomore year living in sage!

    I love how simplistic this image is and yet, it is still very relatable to the text.

    The text really brought this image to life for me. I thought it was just a boring shot but you really turned it around.

Point, Line and Plane

https://www.flickr.com/photos/190433305@N06/   "A line is the track made by a moving point..."~Wassily Kandinsky                                                                           The point in my photo is to emphasize the subtle black speaker highlighted by the rays of light coming into the room. The natural light from the sun really emphasizes the dark nature of the speaker and the contrast is very defining. The speaker is located on top of a window sill which is considered the plane in my photo. If you take a closer look at the window itself, you can see the tiny intricate patterns of lines connecting to create a window screen. An argument can be made that the point at the beginning of the speaker and the point at the end of the speaker signify a line acro...

Rhythm, Balance, Scale, Texture

Image
  https://www.flickr.com/cameraroll/ I chose to highlight this piece for this week's emphasis on Rhythm, Balance, Scale, and Texture. This piece was actually created by one of my roommates and I thought this would be a great platform to highlight his work. The painting itself has phenomenal rhythm as we can see the different ways the paint is splattered across the canvas. It's a very interesting concept because it has a chaotic balance to it. As sloppy as it may seem there's a certain beauty to it that catches the viewer's eyes immediately. The scale and texture of this painting seem to be kind of aggressive but has a very gentle tone to it. The way the color's mix is beautiful and reminds me of the American flag.
