I would like to follow up a little on my visual research projects. As for our first experiment, dealing with size, I would have to say the most important thing I took away from it would be that size does matter. I wanted nothing more than to print huge; I wanted to be engulfed within my image and I wanted to do the same for my audience. When I saw all of the different sizes of my work hanging next to each other, I began to notice that all of the photos had quite a different sense. While coming into the project I thought I wanted to see my work huge, but when I saw the different sizes, I sort of like the smaller version myself. They seemed so much more personal and precious. The class decided that a sort of inbetween size looked best with my photos, which I agreed on. I enjoy the smallness of the photos, but you seem to lose or miss something when it is too small. Likewise, the larger photo seemed too spaced out, not personal enough, so to speak. This was a great way to understand that size most certainly does matter, and I'm sure glad I tried it out!
