Abstract
Space can be used as a setting or an object. I have been interested in the collage. Three dimensional space can create uncomfortableness by arranging different images in paradoxical ways. The blending of the social norm with my young over active imagination
illustrates the paradox through a lack of manner or social etiquette. Being lost in the maze is inspirational. Exiting the maze, one needs a tool to remember how they got in the maze.
Being confused, scared, and dealing with contradiction the viewer’s imagination allows them to put together components that help them through their adventure. For example, if there is an apple on a plate, it is normal and I would just eat it without questioning. What about an apple on a toilet? I would question about why an apple is here and what it is for.
