I chose these three images because I liked how they all use pattern or textile in them. Even though the images have been created and shown 25 years apart they still exhibit some of the same ideas.

Similarities in these images are that they all use a pattern in combination with the human figure and they use that pattern to abstract or make less visable the human figure. A difference is that the first picture by Lassry doesn't abstract the human figure but rather makes it stand out more.

Appropriation is using something or someone elses belongings or images to create your own artwork. I think that both of these exhibitions show that in one form or another, whether it's through a direct copy of an image or simply using an image of something or part of something. I think that Rosenberg is wrong about the new exhibition straying too far from the original because even though they differ in the way that they show the appropriation (ex. installation, constructed) they are still using appropriation in their artwork.

Adam and I

 I chose this picture because even though I didn't take this photo myself it is one of my favorites. It's funny because I didn't want to take the picture when we were there!

Nathan and the bird

We went to the zoo for Adam's brother's birthday a couple weeks ago. We went into a huge bird cage and fed parrots. This one liked Nathan so much he pooped on him!!

Adam and I (Halloween)

I chose this picture because Halloween is almost here! We went to The Sounds concert last year on Halloween and it was a lot of fun so I am looking forward to this year!

Blog Assignment 6

Selected W Sarah Pickering

Front Garden, School Road 2005 http://www.sarahpickering.co.uk/public-order/public-order-02.htm

An element that I see in Sarah Pickering's work that relates to mine is that she is photographing empty and/or run down buildings. For a series that I am currently in the process of shooting I am photographing empty buildings.




Ryan McGinely, Emily and Hannah, 2002
http://ryanmcginley.com/

A common element that I see in Ryan McGinely's work and mine is the inclusion of people (friends/family) in the photographs. I'm working on an ongoing series that has to do with memory and existence which includes images of my family and friends.



Zoe Leonard
Drop Off A.M., Pick Up P.M.
1999/2000

Something that I found in common with my work and this photograph by Zoe Leonard is the sign. I like to take pictures of signs that I find interesting or funny.

Louise Bouque, Still from Self Portrait Post Mortem, 2002. 35mm film, color, sound; 2:30 min.




Amy Blakemore, Jill in Woods, 2005. Chromogenic color print, 19 x 19 in. (48.3 x 48.3 cm).

Jeanne Liotta, Stills from Eclipse, 2005. 16mm film, color, sound; 3:30 min
http://www.whitney.org/www/2006biennial/artists.php?artist=Liotta_Jeanne

All of these artists work with the theme of existance, and/or identity. Also they all use some sort of alternative process in their work, whether it's creating blurry images or developing film with non traditional chemistry.

Aspen, Colorado

I like this picture because when I saw this sign it made me laugh...I had to take a picture to make it last longer!

Flowers

I chose this picture because my boyfriend got me these flowers for our anniversary last weekend. We went to Glenwood Springs for the weekend.

Sculpture I

I chose this photo because it was my first sculpture project that I presented in my Sculpture I class. I tend to have afear of creating three dimmensional art so this class is a nice way to force myself to work in three dimensions and get more comfortable with it.
