The Hidden Impossible Triangle.
Wood, steel

This piece works on the Gestalt effect as in the mind, the recognition of a whole image does not have to be perceived being made up of the parts that exist within it already. Basically the principle of the piece is that it was made to serve as an optical illusion. The impossible triangle can only be seen within a very particular line of site. The Hidden Impossible Triangle is meant to have the full visual/mental attention of the viewer because if the viewer is able to create the triangle in their plain of sight, the piece will shift from three 3-D pieces into one 2-D whole.

Landscape - Painting

Anslem Kiefer has always been an artist that has persuaded my interests. The ambiguity of his painting/sculpting materials is what truly inspires me. As far as landscapes are concerned, pertain to German historical themes, I am sure that there are a few that you can imagine. These are two of his works, Resurrexit and from the Heaven and Earth Series. Kiefer began his artistic career as a photographer and shot films such as one that was mimicked the nazi salute. This film was meant to remind Germans that their culture was being destroyed by the third reich. This imagery exists throughout his lifetime of work.

Another artists that particularly interests me is Carl Andre. Andre is a minimalist sculptor and poet and these two pieces reflect both of those fields. The text is used in a way mimicking that of a technical topographical map.

Final idea for mas print

I have chosen this image to be the one that will be mass printed. I had ideas about more complicated drawings and line work but the more I took the technology into consideration, the better I was able to shape my idea. I have even considered completely removing the hand-drawn aspect of the image all together as seen in previous posts, drawn in MS-Paint. It can down to the function and movement the workings of the printer itself when I came to this conclusive drawing. My pen marks, will replicate that of the process of how a printer prints (inkjet in this case because, to my knowledge, is the most commonplace household printing device).

Again and again

More MS Paint sketches - Compressed images

The thing about transferring paint drawings from a PC to a mac is the compression of the image when the 24 color bitmap images are saved as jpgs. The details of the compression are subtle yes, but they they condense a series of lines into one image. It is hard to notice at first but there are slight disfigurations that can be seen in each of the paint images.
