===== From cdsi26@bupers.navy.mil: Very basic model and no connection to the theme. I'm sure you noticed that your front leg is a little loose. A screwdriver in the scene and an explanation that some poeple are very scared when others work on things around the house would have assured better concept marks. ===== From marlo.steed@uleth.ca: Could have been a neat idea, just needed to take it to the next conceptual level. ===== From timk@jtse.com: You could've done alot more with this scene if you used better lighting and other means to increase contrast. There's no contrast as it is now. You should visually set aside the vase. Cause it to look truly like it's alone. The viewer has to identify with the vase, become one with it. It has to become more than just an object on a table. ===== From ameede@madmac.com: Your title and the actual image makes it highly conceptual. I do not see enough informations to relate to it. Yet you attempted to add a personal experience to your work? With this in mind, I do not see any flowers in the vase, does this mean that there is no life within the symbolic vase? The vase is set on a table that itself sits low to the ground, does this mean a fear of rising above, or afraid of falling? These are questions that come to my mind, and I do not see any answers within the work to bring the viewer to closure about the artwork. Do not get me wrong, being alone is a human experience and when you try to translate that into an inanimate object (yet another question, the object itself is lifeless, does this have something to do with the fear of loneliness?) it becomes difficult for your viewer to relate. Many artists in the past actually did use still lifes to reflect human values however they added informations that helped the viewer. I don't know, if I take what I stated above, I would have added wilting flowers on the table, shown one of the table legs breaking off thereby tilting the table, just things like that. However, on a broader perspective, and as conflicting as I might appear to be, it is these questions that I bring up that make the work successful. It is not so much what the end effect the artists presents in the work, as is the communications that are opened between the artist and viewer ameede@madmac.com ===== From tina@ripco.com: This, despite the title, has nothing to do with horror. It is also boring. Your table legs don't seem connected to your table, btw. ===== From ericf@foothill.net: I like the concept, especially the use of the apparent reflection of the sole figure in the scene. But the image seems too simplistic to give more on artistic or technical grounds. It feels blocky, somehow. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: "I can make a scene with nine primitives!" "I can make a scene with SEVEN primitives!" "Render that scene!" :-) ===== From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk: Wrong topic. ===== From file: "I Love this picture" ;-) Notable for originality
