'Shimmering madness'

Sandy Skoglund

　

　

I looked up some photography books in library

and I found Skoglund's work. The Human being

was surrounded by jelly-bean-like things.

The colours are pink, yellow, green, purple,

white, red, and orange. When all these colours

are layed out together, it looks very disturbing

and confusing. But I thought it brings such a good

effect on disguising the people (wrapped with beans).

I found this photograph in the library. The book is called 'Colour Photography' By Gabriel Bauret. I don't have a specific idea about my final project but i thought this picture would help me going. The small army toys holding a weapon each seems quite frightening to me. The toys are just like ants lineing up in rows to attack a huge enemy. Skoglund has used contrasting colours such as bright yellow and red. I got impressions of fear, powerful, and strong feelings.
