Artist Statement

This project was especially hard for me, because I’m not very good at photoshop, but I feel I had a strong concept for the piece. My concept was to use the zoom window from Bridge, and since I didn’t really have a lot of pictures that went well together, I was playing with the idea that if you zoomed in on a certain part of the picture, you could see a whole different world. I changed it so the water tower was behind the cemetery, and I put the tree that is in front of the water tower and put in the foreground to create a sense of framing, by making it bigger then the rest of the things in the small window to play with the perception of the piece. The hardest part of this project was getting rid of all the blue from the background when editing things in, there are lots of small spaces so it’s hard to get all of it out. My piece meets the criteria of the project and shows texture in the bigger picture as it is all cement and leaves, in these you can clearly see the veins of the leaves and the roughness of the cement. If I could do this project again. I would take pictures of things that contrasted but still went well together making for a better visual experience, since the photoshop work is a little sloppy.
