So today we went on a walking field trip to the ICA and the task was to find a piece of art that we liked and then to write a list of ten words that described the process that we think they used to make their art. I stumbled upon a work by artist Paul Mpagi Sepaya and was intrigued by the blurred parts of the image. Most photographers want to depict forms clearly or, at the very least, in focus and so to find multiple images where forms were intentionally blurred and shadowed was something I found to be unique. His content as I interpreted it was about how people, of light and dark skin as well as straight and queer sexual orientation, are all essentially the same and shouldn't be typified into race, gender, etc. I really like how he created something so mysterious and hazy with an art form that is usually focused on depicting a form "perfectly" and I want to try and experiment with this style a bit. Here are a few links if you would like to learn more about his art!
