Today I had a meeting with my Thesis committee and they pointed out that 2 out of the 5 images I presented had a different feel to them. The 2 weren't dirty enough to follow along with the other 3. It was actually kinda funny. Ben said he felt like he was a mouse traveling around these small, dirty, and forgotten spaces. I really liked that idea and maybe thinking like a mouse and maneuvering around like one might help me to find new spaces. Wayne said he also agreed that these images could go bigger. Yay! I'm not going to put these in fancy mats. Jane suggested just putting them on foamcore and letting them float off the wall. I feel this would be more true to the images. A nice white border would contradict with these dirty and shadowed spaces. Wayne also said that a glossy paper makes the images more appealing, that these spaces are scary yet intriguing.

Oh and I'm not going to use 2 out of the 3 images I first selected to write my paper on. So that kinda stinks because I already had the outline done but at least the paper will be more coherent if all the spaces depict this dirty forgotten industrial space. I still really like the roller image but only on a color and shape basis. I'm really happy that I've nailed down my subject matter and strategy!
