My Little Tree

So I thought it was cool how just a little cut of light, probably framed by part of a building, got through and was then cut out again by this tree to make some interesting gobo-esque shapes on the wall.

If this was a light, the sun would be the lamp, the building would be the shutter and the tree a gobo I think. It's interesting the way we reexamine normal every day things that we take for granted in terms of class concepts. I just love taking something so common and accepted as sunlight and breaking it down, and transforming it into a million different metaphors and explanations and comparisons. I think that re-examining mindset is crucial to all art.

This also makes me think about source, and how something similar to this could be a clear indication of where the sun is in the sky, what is blocking it and therefore, what our setting, time of day, and even time of year are. Just this small bit of light hitting a wall, so simple, so much information conveyed without even speaking words.
