Week 13      06/12/11...

After discussing our work from the last project we were given our next brief. Tension and Movement. At first when I thought about this brief I didn't have a clue what I was going to do . All I knew was that I wanted to keep the theme of thread in my work.

I decided that I would look at the oposite of tension. In the form of threads and ropes. I wanted to keep to my on going theme of stiching in to pictures , however I wanted the thread I stitch with to be the subject of my photographs , not the effect of it has on the photographs afterwards.

although I did discuss with Kate the possibility of stiching in to my pictures again , but then ripping the stich up and pinning it somehow so that it would show the tension in the presentation of the photographs.

I started to look at how ropes are used in photography and how they are presented.

Below are some examples of the work that I have been looking at on the theme of ropes.

I liked this image the first time I saw it. I think the detail is beautiful to look at and other all it is an image that stands out to me. I like the focus of this image , it draws the eye straight to the centre of the image as the background is very out of focus.

Here is another example of rope photography. This one is more literally than the one about , however I do still enjoy the image. I like the contrasting colour of the ring to the surrounding area.

Again , I DO NOT own any of the pictures I have got from different websites , I am using them soley for the purpose of research to further my own work.
