Image Methodology – Constructivism or Construct (Kim)

I experimented with several different materials and textures to create my sculptures to see how they would be captured and manipulated in a photograph. I enjoyed working with the aluminum foil because it produced interesting reflections and shadows that were intensified with additional contrast. I believe the material and the simple setting I selected enhanced each sculpture and their designs, removing distractions, almost making them appear larger than they actually are. I also thought the visual and physical trick the balancing rocks display in the element of Earth created a sense of motion, accentuated with the shadow below. It developed the idea of earth as a living thing, always in motion.
