Lisa Milroy




Milroy's images are of everyday objects reproduced with intimacy and regularity. Often on the verge of trompe l'oe.

Philip Guston.





Gustons work moved from abstract expressionism in the late 1960's and settled on more representational style. In this body of work he created a lexicon of images such as Klansmen, lightbulbs, shoes, cigarettes, and clocks. The seem to speak of the world that surrounded him, but also they were symbols of that which was not present.


Walden



Walden (first published as Walden; or, Life in the Woods) is an American book written by noted Transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and manual for self reliance. An investigation into what is self sufficiency.

Bela Borsodi



Some fashion/product photography, the anthropomorphism of bags into a suave looking man. With your narrative structure try to push the limits of what can take place and the characters involved.

Robert Voit



In one of Voit's Typological series the photographs depict radio and telephone masts disguised as trees. See more here. With your object project try to think of the inherent yet transient meaning related to objects.
