Tasting The Abstract
"These images form an alternate world categorized by obscured, compressed or truncated principal elements, which in turn create their own private ambiance."
This quote was taken from an article in the Huffington Post focusing on a show entitled "Abstract Never Is". It is the theme of the 25th Photo L.A. fair.
Other contributing thoughts include:
"My abstract images are visual manifestations of what comes through my mind. They come from both reality and chance and work back and forth between both."
"Dreamlike images appeal to me because they can evoke complex and deeply personal reactions," explained Refetoff. "For me, truly abstract photographs are absent any discernible figurative elements. That is of course a matter of opinion - exactly the question this exhibition is here to explore."
So there you have it. More insight into what we do here every Thursday, where the rules match the challenge itself, and sharing your thoughts and processes is welcome but not required.
My entry this week is the result of having fish and chips and not having the required space to drop my lemon wedges. So they formed an ancient style burial mound on a beer coaster. And using a radial lens blur to destruct most of the words.
Please add AT31 to your constructs today.
(Next week February 4, will be AT32.)
