The exhibition as a whole flowed very smoothly. Each Artist chose pieces that were of the same style, yet compared individually, each artist’s work was diverse. Tracy Longley-Cook chose to show her photographs in a set of black and whites which was a distinct contrast to John Mann’s brightly colored series. Daniel Kariko chose to showcase his photographs on a backboard without a frame which enhances the simplicity of the basics which compliment his photographs. Ryan Adrick showed photos similar to John Mann’s, although each photographer is unique giving the style their own spin. The four artists being shown in the gallery at this time are working together to create a visual experience like no other.
This photo was taken on film and developed in black and white solution. It shows a hand holding vines draped over the top of a brick wall painted white. This piece is framed with a white matte, and a black metal frame. The framing choice accents the black and white format of the photograph.
This photograph can be interpreted many different ways. The hands reaching up towards the vines symbolize the woman crying out for help. The vines symbolize the bad things in her life and she is reaching up towards them which could mean that she is embracing them, or she is trying to get rid of them. The choice of black and which symbolizes the simplicity of how basic the choice of good and bad is.
