2008, 2009, 2010, Each 9x 61 inches, Ashley Selbe, Fall 2009
Where do I go from here ? I had my mid term critique on tuesday and i got a lot of feed back about my work. So right now i am trying to figure out what it all means to my work. These three pieces that i created above feel very much done to me. I do not plan on reshooting this or working with these anymore because i feel i can show this same concept better in different visual ways.
So in my crit people seem to feel that it was overwhelming, busy and like seeing life in fast forward. I never thought that about my work until it was up on the wall. It is impossible to see all the tiny images and it challenges you to look at all of them. This is not what i wanted people to see. I want this work to communicate the idea of days passing by and the challenges that we face everyday become minimal to life as a whole.
I am going to try a different way of manifesting this work. I am going to shoot in the same style of trying to capture an image, but i am going to try this first with a pingpong ball. It is very different because the ball will bounce. so this might be very different from using eggs or water drops. But visually i want to create a long never ending image and photoshop all of these dropping balls as one long panoramic scene. I feel this might communicate the idea of time passes and gliding by in a different way but it will retain the visual rhythm that the pieces above have.
So that is my next step, along with artist research and writing about what i am thinking.
