Thursday post. 11.5.

I popped into Paul's office a few days ago, before my presentation because I hadn't met with him since my first meeting and he hadn't seen any of my recent work. We spoke about the images I showed in my midterm critique and to my relief he said he liked the concept and images better than my original idea! This was a huge relief! Paul had some great ideas with what I could do to further the concept, this included making my own images to show alongside the screen shots of LCDs and Planet Earth. This was a great idea, because it allows me to get more innovative with my shots and even create some sets, which I love doing! Anselm Reyle really comes to mind while I'm thinking about making this work because of his use of foil. The pvc foil he uses looks insanely crystalline when photographed from certain angles. Paul suggested continuing the illusions and photographing through something, such as a glass window. I think it's important for the work I set up and shoot to maintain dialogue with the other images I'm going to be showing...I want it to appear as if it could have been a shot from Planet Earth. These illusions are important to my work and the conceptual conversations I want my pieces to have with each other.
