Tension Piece





I'm particularly disatisfied with this project, mainly because I ran into so many hinderances that the idea is so far stretched from my original plan that it's a new piece entirely. I wanted the piece to express the tension I feel when walking barefoot (which I do often) and I come across areas which have things like thorns, broken glass, gravel, etc. As well as it being uncomfortable for me, whoever I'm with shows an obvious reaction to my discomfort but they usually don't say anything. This is the tension I wanted to capture in the photographs, and I wanted to go one step further and bring an element of the photographs into the room with the broken glass. I wanted it to be subtle, hard to see unless you're really looking for the edges, and in this manner create an undefined edge to the piece. Overall, I love the way the glass worked and will hopefully be working with it again.
