Presentation
This is the layout of the imagery I printed off. I constructed series of images. ranging from very large to very small.
I want viewers to step back, AND come close. By placing large images next to small ones, I intend to entice the viewer to come closer to see the advancements of the work.
The series of images invite the viewer to follow the pieces from top to bottom, to see the slow decay of the imagery.
The layout is intentionally disharmonious. I did not intend to lay them out in mathematically correct ways. I like that the edges do not align in places. A peer described this layout as
"an organised mess" which I found very accurate.
The shape of the formation has been referred to as a FISH by at least 2 viewers, so far. I found that interesting. It also affirms that the formation can be seen as a whole, which I enjoy.
I contemplated whether the images were too close together, and whether they take away from one another. I decided NO, and found that this layout reminded me of a digital glitch. Like many pixels grouped together. This thought relates back to the work of Jack Addis who uses many pixelated effects in his work.

I thought briefly of mosaic art / pixel art, and also art that is created of many small images. Photographic mosaics.
For example, the word of Adam Finkelstein, who creates imagery out of other imagery that is not necessarily related to the overall image.
If I had more time available I may have further explored this concept. I feel that my chosen presentation method relates heavily to this style, due to the masses of imagery grouped together.
