Abstraction: Updated Mind Map
I have updated my mind map to include some inspiration from Uta Barth who strongly utilizes light as a means of expression. I feel that Barth’s pictures are very inspirational of how light is used in such a level of mastery.
Abstraction: Set 2 Revised Vision
Original Vision:
The message of my triptych is that all objects or environments inherently contain complexities that may be hidden from plain sight but can be revealed from a different angle or perspective. By selecting my photographs so that the objects/environment portrayed is composed of more complex shapes, lines and patterns, I want to emphasize that things may be more complex than it seems. I want to express how what one may regard as simple may inhibit much more complex qualities that invoke interest or appeal through complications. For inspiration, I want to try and find images that are inclusive of complex elements that are created using common objects or structures, for example, created with a significant focus on contrast and the complex elements used within the image.
Although the main premise of my set 2 would be the same as my original vision, for Set 2, I would like to look more into expressing complexity through the combination of objects and light in such a manner that it is unique. In other words, I aim to express my object not only with complexity from its inherent properties but also how it can express abstraction and complexity when combined with other environmental elements, such as light. Thus, the use of light would be pretty significant for the purposes of my set, so I attempt to take my pictures under varying conditions of light, such as with natural light provided by the sun/moon and artificial lighting from varying lighting of the environment.
