Medusa Experienced
Our experience with an artwork is as important as the piece itself. Artists consider this when deciding on size and substrate, museums and galleries create spaces with movement of visitors in mind. By layering several images taken over a period of time visiting this artwork, I have created a piece that is not about the artwork itself, but rather the experience of viewing it.
