Cajsa Lilliehook covers the best in virtual world screenshot art and digital painting
SL On Camera is working on a project that has me completely intrigued. It’s all in her photo album “Life Is Like a Book.” This picture is #28, or more officially, “Life Is Like a Book (28).” It’s a lovely example of the Rule of Thirds, the tower of books bisected by an imaginary line one-third of the way from the left side of the picture. I don’t know why this is #28 because there are eleven pictures in the album, but that just makes it “curiouser and curiouser,” as Alice said in Wonderland
Speaking of Alice, check out this next pic, click here:
This pic, #8, more directly references a single book that any other picture in her album. The Red Queen is stepping out of Lewis Carroll’s famous novels while her counterpart is glowering at Alice on the cover. I love the doorway in the spine of the book. Books are doorways to other lives and other worlds. A perfect metaphor.
My mother used to say my head was full of books. I think #5 is a pretty good visual representation of that idea. The bowler hat and the head of books makes me think of Magritte’s “Son of Man” though her suit and vest is much less buttoned up.
SL On Camera’s “Life Is Like a Book” is a great project and, I think, it is incomplete. There were ten pictures yesterday and eleven today, so we can all sit back and watch it grow and perhaps, somehow, figure out what the numbers mean.
