Midnight

I’m stuck in isolation in the #peacearchhospital, following a stroke and a bout with chickenpox, and although I have a view, the moon isn’t visible tonight. So I took a page from artist Vik Muniz, and shot photographs of the hospital room floor. I then adjusted the photo’s brightness, contrast, highlights, and shadows to create the abstracted image seen here.

I ended up submitting it for a @themuseumofmodernart @coursera workshop, SEEING THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS Creative Challenge: Shoot for the Moon! Specifically, it’s description said: “You’ve explored many ways that artists have photographed the moon. Now add your photograph of the moon! Take or share a photograph of the moon. Feel free to interpret this assignment creatively—maybe the moon won’t be visible at all in your photograph, or moonlight will be an element in your process. The sky is not your limit! Tell us about your process and the decisions you made.”
