TEXTURES

I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it... I always want to see the third dimension of something... I want to come alive with the object.


Andrew Wyeth

Within two hours of where I live, you have mountains and desert as location. I like the natural elements that abstract into light, texture, shape and shadow.

 

Herb Ritts

Texture is the most enduring and ubiquitous underpinning of form... certainly a calming, meditative and appealing world for both the eye and mind.  Linda Leyman

 

 

There's something in nature, especially when nature starts decomposing, that brings out these textures. For a long time I loved looking at that."  David Lynch

Texture…is appraised and appreciated almost entirely by touch, even when it is visually presented. With few exceptions…it is the memory of tactile experiences that enables us to appreciate texture. So far, only a few designers have paid much attention to the importance of texture, and its use in architecture is largely haphazard and informal. In other words, texture on and in buildings are seldom used consciously and with psychological or social awareness. (p. 62)

 

 

 

"If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?  We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason."
-   Jack Handey  

This quote above had me laughing out loud - can you imagine trees screaming all the time.
