Sculpted Face taken with a cell phone



This is a hand sculpted face attached to wheel thrown vase, with decorative handbuilt butterflies, which will eventually adorn the entire vase in a whirlwind pattern. These images were taken in Colorado Springs with an Sprint cell phone running Android/Cyanongen Mod, which is not a Windows Phone or an Apple iPhone. The images where reduced with Ubuntu and Gimp, which is not Microsoft Windows or Apple laptop. The mobile phone resolution is 8MP.

Art and Cell Phones

A little poem I wrote for my followers. Has cell phone design been influenced by closed composition? Due to the appearance of closed spatial composition, the artist reflected a desire for no interaction or a deep sense of emotion, but instead wanted a fixed ornate object much like classical Greek sculptures. Which is implied in the strict vertical lines, which are seen from knee to foot and hip to head. At the top of a phone screen, there is no implication of movement or diagonal lines to suggest forward action. A phone is fixed in a moment, which seems to have no emotional output. Compared to a woman, she appears serene with a slight smile suggesting no emotion. Every part of her body is firmly planted and aligned, with makeup. In this sense, smart phones and ladies share common characteristic.
