I have recently just got back from a four day event in Aberystwyth as I went to the International Ceramics Festival. Although I have not uploaded any images of that event yet I thought I would put up photographs I took whilst I was down there.
These pictures were taken from the beach side in what little spare time I had in the evenings. Again I took many photos and only selected ones that I felt were strongest form the lot. It seemed that the beach was an ideal place to take photos of the constructed environment as I was able to utilise in most photos the vast uncluttered space of the ocean and sky. This essentially provided an interesting backdrop for the objects in the foreground.
What I notice is that these objects rely on the space there in as the space helps to define the form and the form can also define the space and so relationships are created. In addition because of the time of day in which I took these pictures the lighting was at its most diverse. There are qualities of light and dark and this interacts with the space and objects within it. Colours slightly change or shift depending of the time and surface textures get highlighted. Everything interacts, not one thing is static.
I have also continued to investigate different modes of perspective to find ways in which to create a space that is immersive. But I also hope curiosity can be evoked as forms are taken out of context and perhaps this demands the viewer to become actively involved with the subject, searching in the juxtaposition of space, form, colour and light.
Perhaps these pictures remind me that the constructed world in which we experience on a daily basses can be seen in alternative ways that can potentially question our understanding. Maybe I am forced to rethink about what I am seeing, or could this just be my imagination.
