Envelop digital photo variable size
|
Envelop is a photograph of a small scale model of an interior space made from paper and mirrored Mylar. I enjoy the initial sense of a room with hidden arches whose presence is revealed by foreboding cast shadows, reminiscent of the work of Italian surrealist Giorgio de Chirico. The room becomes somewhat unsettling when searching for a way out, however, as the only apparent escape is through a mirror. The concepts of security and safety are called into question. The wallpaper pattern may be familiar to viewers as it is taken from a very common business envelope security pattern. I received a bill one day in the mail and was drawn to the pattern. I cut up the envelope scanned and printed it onto many sheets of paper. I then cut, assembled, lit and photographed the arrangement. the result is this image, as well as others in this particular series. |
