Homework 3 (part 2)

http://catebrown18.blogspot.com/2011/05/spatial-puzzles-equivocal-space.html

This piece is a great example of equivocal space. This is due to the inability of being able to distinguish a separate foreground, middle ground, and background. It contains positive shapes because all of the balloons are distinguished from the background, and negative shapes because the shape of all of the balloons together is what distinguishes the background. The transparency used in this piece makes it unclear about whether or not there is a spatial pattern.

        All of the balloons are composed of curvilinear lines, while the strings of the balloons are strictly composed of rectilinear lines. Although it is unclear whether or not there are separate planes, depth is still present due to the overlapping of the balloons.
