For this project I decided to emulate Lorna Simpson's Public Sex exhibit. She took pictures of landscapes and blew them up very large, and then beside the photo put a small card with a scene or a couple of lines explaining what the viewer is looking at. The theme was places one could have sex publicly. I was fascinated by this, because that overarching theme completely changed the way I looked at her photos.
I decided to take a slightly different theme of death. We pass by so many places on a daily basis that have stories, and I wanted to show some of them. I blew the photos up as large as my paper would allow, and attempted to tint them slightly to get the feel of Lorna Simpson's work.
