Artwork Description

The Elephant in the Room


0.0 x 0.0


Prior to CT, MRI and PET scanning, we learned most about brain function when it stopped working. I learn most about the way we see and navigate through the space around us by disrupting the process of visual perception. The secrets to this image lies more in the stages of construction when effects are most notable. The surprising conclusion was not that the Gestalt principle of Focal Point had influence over the perception, it was the degree of influence that surprised and showed how the foocal point dominated all other principles.
