This weeks lecture was given by Eileen Neff. She is a photographer who challenges perspective and space by installing huge prints that give you a sense of being inside while the image happens outside. This lecture left me livid, her work is so simple and elementary but yet she is a recognized artist who makes a living off her work. I feel that she is taking advantage of one good discovery she made. The work she did collaging the still tree over the blurred background is great but the piece "Horizon" is less than mediocre. I don't see how she can get away with a snapshot of woods and then put a strip of blue and green next to it and then get it in a gallery. What makes that different than my ten year old brother doing the same thing? What if I did it and had the same thought behind it, could I quit school and make a living of work like that?
