This a sketch. I don’t think its quite there yet, but I like the general idea. A little nervous about the Ernie Gehr reference…

For April’s Steel City Suppositions, these drawings began to explore imaginations for Pittsburgh’s city steps.

Ascending Projections, 2010

During next week’s gallery crawl, the Pittsburgh Architectural Club is hosting its first event! Steel City Suppositions is an exhibition of young designer’s imagation for the city. Hope to see you there!

The opening on Friday night was great! Everyone seemed to have a good time, and I received alot of useful feedback. I’m always impressed with how varied everyone’s reactions are and how useful their input always seems to be. I think the fact the photos create such a visceral reaction makes them easy to relate to while engaging everyone’s imagination.

I had good conversations with a few people about the spatial impressions you typically receive from a photograph, as well as the various factors that add up to creating the more successful images. Colors and textures are just as influential as the spatial condition is to creating the final result. Its interesting how different the resultant effects are when the movements between the images are so similar.

Here are a few set up shots:

And more opening:

I have an upcoming show March 5 at 6-9pm at Edge Studio’s gallery. Its part of Penn Avenue’s Unblurred event, hopefully you can make it out!
