Other Windows : Samantha Blanchard-Solitude




I found Samantha Blanchard's work in an exhibtion in Hertfordshire. I obvousily feel a connection with her work because of her use of windows, I'm particuarly interested in how the piece carries a feeling of "emptiness" . Each photograph has the blank sky as a focus and is only framed by the edges of the landsacape. These "empty" landscapes are then surround in the frame of the window which just seems to emphasise the emptiness. I like how this piece does still feel alive in the space, as the white window frames tries to disguise itself against the white wall. The window frame also makes you aware of the experience of the inital act of photgraphing in the empty landsacpe.
