Saturday morning as I walked through my kitchen, I delightfully came across this dandy little gem. The sunlight streaming through the nearby mini blinds reflected this wonderful pattern on the wall. It instantly reminded me of a pearl necklace and felt reminiscent of a simpler, vintage time. The pale sage green background gave it a soft, feminine feel while the detail of the light punctuated the surface. It made me think of a time when people moved slower, were more gracious, and were less consumed with wealth and material things. It had a peace and optimism to it. I imagined a scratchy vinyl album playing a soft big band tune in the background and people gathering to sip tea. It also reminded me with much fondness of my grandmother and her love of all things decorative and ornate ;)
It would be interesting to develop this pattern through lighting as a breakup on the floor and create choreography that aligns with the strands and guides the dancer through space.
i love the scenario this image and light and setting automatically created for you. this image almost looks like a "reverse-shadow" to me... like the white is the shadow, and the darker is the natural light. It is almost as if the picture is in its negative.
