Highlights and Shadows Fourteen | ©2013 David Allio
This is the fourteenth in a series of fourteen still life photographs presenting Highlights and Shadows on a hallway wall. Why, you may wonder, were fourteen images selected?
For any presenting artist, the quantity of a presentation is a basic quandary. How is a determination made on what are too many or too few?
In this case, the process began with a prosaic idea that 2014 deserved 14 images. Defense of that concept included image selection and rejection – yes there were many more similar on-topic images. Why fourteen photographs are better than 15 or 13 or even just one is an artistic determination. Symbolically[1], among other things fourteen represents fusion, organization, temperance, or delusion. Biblically, fourteen is considered a holy number. Take your pick on an interpretation.
This is the fourteenth in a series of fourteen still life photographs presenting Highlights and Shadows on a hallway wall. Thank you for looking. I hope the past two weeks have been enlightening, if not entertaining.
