Calder Powel ‘Perception Plane I – VI’ (Inspiration from the Whitney Umbrella Mathematical Surface), 2012, Grounds for Sculpture, New Jersey
Experiments in perception is a thesis project completed in Paul Sahre & Lindsay Ballant's portfolio class. It is a series of objects and situations that attempt to make others re-think the usual. It's over-arching goal was to test boundaries of logic, language, pre-conceived notions and social convention through the filter of design.
I choose this photograph for my negative for you can freely do whatever they want and it is a noisy area. It influences me thinking this photograph as negative for it wasting for chatting, wasting time in their mobile phone like texting and also smoking.
The complete absence of any reference point, like trees or houses in this picture of the white desert, makes it almost impossible to have any sense of proportion. (Whilst the hills in the background are well above 30 metres high, the black stones in the foreground are pebbles of perhaps 1cm diameter)
“When I was a little girl, everything in the world fell into either of these two categories: wrong or right. Black or white. Now that I am an adult, I have put childish things aside and now I know that some things fall into wrong and some things fall into right. Some things are categorized as black and some things are categorized as white. But most things in the world aren't either! Most things in the world aren't black, aren't white, aren't wrong, aren't right, but most of everything is just different. And now I know that there's nothing wrong with different, and that we can let things be different, we don't have to try and make them black or white, we can just let them be grey. And when I was a child, I thought that God was the God who only saw black and white. Now that I am no longer a child, I can see, that God is the God who can see the black and the white and the grey, too, and He dances on the grey! Grey is okay.” ~ C. JoyBell C.
