I found six shapes throughout my neighborhood. Three are photos are ambiguous and three are organic. There is a figure/ground relationship difference. The ambiguous photographs that I took aren’t clear what is in the front versus what is in the back. The obvious figure/ground photo has a clear distinction between the front and the back. The organic photos that I brought in looks as though they are stain/residue from what looks like to be a stain/wearing down of materials. The difference between obvious and ambiguous is that obvious has a 30/70 figure to background ratio, and ambiguous has a 50/50 figure to background ratio.There’s a story behind these artifacts that I found. I believe that some came to be there over time by wearing down and some came from humans placing them there.
