Texture

This picture is weird. Very weird. It doesn't look like anything. At first I notice the lines. Then I notice the lines that make up the lines. Then the globs of yarn stick out. I don't really like it. It's ugly, but it shows texture really well.
The picture is taken of a wall tapestry at the Hays airport. the bottom portion is rows of blue yarn hanging down, with two white shocks of color mixed in. Above the hanging blue is a row of different values of knotted blue. Above that is a design of triangles of blue, red, and white. It has balls of knotted yarn adding detail and depth. The picture is taken from the bottom right hand corner. It's a different view of a wall hanging.
The composition of this picture is interesting. I like the detail in the foreground and the general-ness in the background. The line quality is crazy. The color is interesting, but boring. There is very little value or contrast. The white on the blue is the only contrast, ans it's not very good contrast.
The picture tells a story of craziness. It looks very busy and all over the place. It looks almost like an unconquered frontier.
Richard Serra's sculptures are interesting. I like the one title "Schunnemunk Fork." It's a steel wall jutting out from the side of a hill. The organic shapes and textures and colors are imposed upon by an unnatural steel wall. It's very interesting to the see the two together.
