Figure Ground relationship


Seen from the skyway level, this woman looking at red crysanthemums is the figure against the backdrop of the grand scale USBank atrium. But she is wedged by perspective between the great wing of granite and the glass wall of the flower store. I take a lot of photos with small figures within large spaces. As I get older the spaces become more complex, contain more story elements. I started with a minimalist love of smooth empty space, but my vision, like my heart, becomes more cluttered with time.
