contrary to the connotations we give to colour, connotations of endless possibilities, it can prove very untrue
colour comes with pre-existing ideas, previous experiences and knowledge, allows us to attach additional meaning to objects, intervenes with our objective experience and produces subjective ones
monochrome becomes the solution to overcome this bias, so the viewer is enabled an open experience – the only matters hinted at are form and tone
The act of applying and picking up the material from the support (surface)
the repetitive act of applying and erasing information
similar to the actions of the brain when collecting and transferring information into a coherent image
the action has potentially no end
shows that the material is malleable and can be altered as well as tailored easily to form the desired outcome – fulfils a particular purpose
faint white marks – DELICATE – top right corner
mist/fog-like
representing ABSENCE and PRESENCE simultaneously
giving a hint at the presence of information/object
overlapping – LAYERING of images
lost proportion – against the “laws of perception”
referring to the power lines on top of what seems a table surface
light reflected off of the white lines – makes them sharper
the fact that the background is black emphasises their existence well
unlike when using a white background – the use of a darker background not only isolates it from the rest of its environment, but also makes the image fuller and gives it, its AUTONOMY – which is what is key to working with representing or visualising the mind in one way or another – because of its isolated and individual nature
requires a lot of GESTURE
conveying the artists mark – individuality – personhood – his imprint and impact on the world
the mark could be used as a good method of visualisation of what is going on inside the mind at the time of experiencing
the same could be said in terms of the mind – because this action is reciprocated – the world makes an impact on our perception/how we see
