the bride???????


well here we see the bride... this piece has no actual representation of a bride. i cannot see the bride. i think thats really stupid. stupid because it does not make sense. if the title is the bride shouldn't you be able to tell that there is some kind of representation of a bride? you don't really need characters to convey subject matter but it defiantly helps. the shapes are really random and they don't have a continuous theme.
even though this piece does not make any literal sense it is very figurative. the shapes in the upper left symbolize the bride. the cloud and the empty space leaves room for you to think about what else should be there.
i think overall this piece is "OK" in my opinion it's really not that good because you get no impression of what it means or what it's about. there is no subject matter at all. I'm not saying that you need subject matter to convey your ideas but a little subject matter would make this piece better i think, because you would not have to sit here and try to figure out what the piece is about.

Read the document over before using "representation" as a criteria for evaluation. The piece was intended not to be able to stand alone as either visual or textual.
