Finding complexity in simple material, Jessica McCambly transforms ubiquitous white plastic shopping bags into an ephemeral cloud of light and shadow. Created from bags collected from NCM visitors, the accumulated mass of delicate imperfect rings, floats mist-like overhead, mimicking the dynamic shape of a wave breaking against the shore. The uniformity and intricate alteration of material invites myriad associations to be projected onto the suspended formation. McCambly encourages visitors to slow down and observe the temporal shapes the light draws against the wall and to contemplate the quiet beauty in the subtle shifts the piece makes over time. The simple act of noticing is critical to the experience of this work. As McCambly states, “the fast pace and culture of convenience that necessitates these plastic bags is also the one that interferes with our ability to notice fleeting moments of visual, aesthetic pleasure.” By reducing the pace, McCambly offers an alternative, giving us an opportunity to breathe and find the magic in the mundane.
Close-up of the second fan. I love this one more than the painted one because you can see the delicate design better.

Unpredictability: no one can predict how the interactions will play […]

An image I've meant to do for a while, shallow DOF on a book, and this one seemed to call out for it.
Another camera toss done at work 6.28.09. I darkened the exposure a little to bring out the details, but that's my only edit.

This photo was meant to represent complexity because of the multiple lines running in different directions. I think it is also a good example of rectangles, eye line, and dynamic tension.

I looked at this for a while, all the weaves and how they all integrated together, it looked like a system. it kind of reminded me of a system of veins.
