Critiques

December 15, 2007

It’s not hair, it’s rope. The blotchy/blurry stuff is wax, and the bulbs are actually bulbs. All these materials were prepared on 11×14 sheets of glass, the night before making the photograms. I melted the wax to pour onto the glass and rope and melted the wax again with a blow dryer so it doesn’t look too blotchy.

I had a fairly good critique on my photograms and even better comments on what I was doing in the lab. We didn’t spend the usual amount of time critiquing each others work, especially the second batch that was up, due to time. I would have liked that extra five minutes we usually have so I could have a little more feed back from my peers.

My peers mentioned the light bulb, post modernist theory in photography, and their reaction to my methods and materials in the lab. C’est tout. Merde, je veux beacoup critiques!
