Yellow Corner could easily be mistaken for collage. However, it was created in-camera. A triangular hole was carefully removed from a sheet of textured dollhouse wallpaper, then hung off the corner of a neon yellow cube, so the corner sticks through the gap.
This series, An Exercise in Formal Composition, presents nearly identical compositions in different methods of execution, playing with photography’s in-camera ability to flatten, layer, and replicate. Each iteration is constructed around a different slightly off-balance right triangle (A: 34.992° / B: 55.008° / C: 90°). Unlike circles or rectangles or even equilateral triangles, which can naturally occur or are staples of architecture, this specific triangular shape is easily recognized as being a deliberate artistic intervention in each given situation.
