I found this word during my reading of the Boston Photograph. I had no idea of what this word was or meant until I looked up the definition. This word basically means to move outward and fill up. For example like that picture of Marilyn Monroe when she’s holding her dress down while air fills up her dress.

I came across this word during my reading of the Boston Photograph. I had no idea what this word meant when I read this until I looked up the word. But even after reading the definition of the word I still don’t have an idea of what this word means. So if anybody can explain it to me that would be of help.

I came across this word during my reading of the Boston Photograph. i had an idea of what this word meant but not the full meaning. Now that I looked the word up I have an idea of what this word means. This word basically means that something is different in an unusual or remarkable way.

exhibit catalog

This exhibition is presented by the artist Tyler Santiago. Tyler Santiago was born and raised in Ozone Park, New York and still resides there and studies at New York City College of technology. Santiago got the inspiration from Tom Phillips re creation of a book called the Human Document but Phillips called it “The Humument”. Santiago’s title “essence come from part of the actual book he used which was a book written by Tillie Olsen called Silences. Santiago took the word Silences and jumbled up the words to create his title. Santiago made this book into his own creation based on what he learned in his classes Eng1101 and COMD1100. His concepts come from stuff like negative and positive space and juxtaposition the overlapping of something. Santiago used basic materials like rulers, black inking pens, and black inking brush. The first piece of work of Santiago’s book is called “silences” which shows negative and positive space and has a obvious focus point with the circled word silences. The second page that has all the word blacked out except the word “of” is called “isolation”. On the third page is called “Geometry” which shows negative and positive space and it shows geometric shape with a focus point where the word Literature is, and the first 3 pages are suppose to go together. The next page is called “The Beat” which represents a sound wave, which shows staccato. The next page titled “Flakes” which represents variety in size. The next page called “Swirls” represents a pattern of legato movement. On the next page is a piece call “Swoosh” are a bunch of line and in this piece it shows movement, And on the last page Santiago wanted to show what he learned in ENG1101 of Juxtaposition, this piece of work is call “New York”.

In this piece Santiago tries to convey geometric shapes surrounding the word literature, he also tries to convey what he learned in his COMD 1100 class on negative and positive space the book page color being the negative space and the black being positive space and on the ambiguity of this piece.

In this piece of work Santiago shows different variety in this case there are a lot of triangles but not a;ll the same sizes, so the variety is shown by all the different sizes and positions of all of the triangles which to him looks like flakes falling from the sky.

each of the paintings took me about a half an hour to do but trying to get the right colors took longer because i couldn’t really find the right way to do it so i went with these colors. trying to make the colors took me about an hour to and hour and a half of trial and error.
