research

As I research and look at low poly art more and more I am becoming intrigued as to how it came to be, so I have been reading articles about the history of low poly art.

For me, I feel that by obscuring an object in a photograph with a low poly style it is conveying a sort of mystery to the viewer about what the object means about the photograph. If a person is holding or wearing an object that is obscured with low poly then it might be harder to grasp what the object is. This makes the viewer think more about the object, as well as the person, in the photograph.

I also would like to explore manipulating a photograph on the 3d surface as well. I feel that using embroidery to change the look and meaning of a photo is something I would like exploring.
