Experimental Moments

Colored Shapes

I was wondering how different colors were able to contribute with a contour or shape. The purpose is to look at this image on 1 meter scale on a white or grey wall but not black. I used different colors with different objects from different materials (paper, plastic, glass & cotton fibers) and tried to find out a suitable combination of it on right exposure with flash lights. I did not use various filters or layers. I added 8 % black . I believe the ratio 1:1 is the best choice . It expresses the content rather the shape. However I did not like the dominant circular shape. The second image below , I  like . I de-saturated the red colors and this became the results.

I was inspired by the music of ” solar fields -Third Tile ( version A)”. Maybe you can understand what was driven me to make this image.

    OK I’m being thoughtful here at my own level which is sadly not yet as rich as your own and Christian’s.
    However, I see some wonderful potential in this experiment with colour and shape. As with the cards, I love the texture of this image PLUS, the 1:1 really works with the content. I’ve tried hard to analyse my thoughts and I have now worked it out, You see, I prefer the first image but initially, I couldn’t tell you why. But now I do think I feel it is because the softer tones work better for me with the gentle cotton fibre texture in the forefront. Subjective, as all art is, I know.
    Do I need to know the music to appreciate the image on a higher level? Probably. I googled it but couldn’t find it. However, the first image brings it’s own music to me. Stephen Rhodes “Music for Healing” maybe. I long to finish my degree and have time to experiment. Thank you, Bart, you really are an inspiration.

      Hi jane, nice to remember and to communicate that with you. You gave me an idea and together with some flash ideas of mine , I tried to explore some new items. Indeed the raitio 1×1 triggered me to do such work. But what was for me essential , is to respect the reality using real ‘ raw materials’ instead of artificial layers. It was a start and I thank you for your time.
      PS the music , it seems that I have offered you a not correct link . Solar fields – Third Time ( version A)
