James Welling, New Abstractions #30, 2000, gelatin silver print.
The reduction of the image into an abstraction is what attracted my to this work. It's complex and beautiful to me, like an idea just forming or perhaps an escape from some self-imposed paradigm. Maybe this is the idea of liberation, at least for me it is. What i love about dividing space up into pure black and white is that the negative space and the positive space become interchangeable, mutually dependent. Maybe this is a love story after all.
interesting - you dove right into the metaphor. beautiful description.
ReplyDeletei like it becasue its a repetitive of linear images. I sit here and look at it and i am still trying to guess what these objects are or how they formed and if they tell a story. To me, its a picture of our lives and paths that go in all directions. Our creativeness can go either way! and i LOVE black and white :)
ReplyDeleteI like your description Monique, and how you too have delved into the metaphor and made it your own:)
