Woburn Woods + Woburn Trails - Monday 19th Feb, I went for a walk around my local woods back home and took a few source images for my work. In the top few images, the colours of the sky and the warmth of the sun reflecting on the trees is visually stunning. There's a sense of happiness in contrast to the images underneath which are more dull and mute. It almost looks like two seasons, the top section being summer, and the bottom being winter. I also found a few openings which reminded me of the digital edits that I have been working on in Photoshop recently. An open space or 'doorway' that you can walk towards. So far i've used man-made sculptures or buildings with landscapes inside, but it could be interesting the use these nature images, and putting architecture in the gaps behind.

 

The 2 images to the left show a path leading to an open space at the end which is quite intriguing as a viewer, making your eyes follow the strip down the centre of the photograph. This reminds me of the Woods wallpaper mural from the 'Wilderness Exhibition' in the Walsall gallery. This is due to her piece having a path which leads into the forest, making the spectators wonder what is beyond our vision. I love the idea of leaving the viewers guessing, and not having a true answer of the piece so everyone can interpret it in their own way. I could attempt to incorporate this factor within my edits.
