The one that comes to mind first is how our lives have been changed by an image much like the shadowed image of the plane, in fact the whole world has been changed.<br />Another thought, like Rita mentioned, is just how "small" the world truly is with the ability to travel from one side of the globe to the other.<br />Different eyes see different things...<br />My eyes think it is amazing!Lighthousegalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03748294078711559186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300332596847087857.post-78932721971810695612012-04-22T14:10:32.997-07:002012-04-22T14:10:32.997-07:00I don't know nearly enough about art to try an...I don't know nearly enough about art to try analyzing it.

So for me it suggests the unknown factor of change -- that what we often see are shadows which are unknown quantities -- for example you can't tell if it's a passenger plane or a military plane. The globe is small and man-made, it is a depiction of the world as it used to be (as an antique it would not be up-to-date. We tend to look at the world as it used to be or with misconceived notions. The shadow of technology leaves everything open.

Prior to 9/11 I doubt that a big shadowy plane would have evoked that reaction. I first thought of the "world getting smaller" aspect as flight has become so prevalent. The technique of using acrylic paint is very cool. Hard for me-of-no-talent to see how little bottles of acrylic paint could end up looking like that.

I think that is because when I was very small I lived near an air force base and very loud planes used to fly extremely low over the garden, just appearing out of nowhere, it seemed to me. I found them terrifying, like great birds of prey. <br /><br />Hope other people have a more cheery interpretation! :DJenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300332596847087857.post-69338611726285411982012-04-22T10:40:53.239-07:002012-04-22T10:40:53.239-07:00A symbolic image, that can be interpreted in many ...A symbolic image, that can be interpreted in many ways.
