My two favorite images wouldn't actually let me download the photo so here are the links:

None of these are my photos. I do not claim copyright, they are simply research images. And awesome pictures.
Very excited about this project. The ideas in the images that are exciting to me are: dead trees/twigs (beauty in the naturally gritty) - especially in silhouette since we have curtains, transformation, deep color and/vs. neutrals, specific directionality, texture (light is coming through trees, leaves, etc), unexpected combinations (twigs that are tangled around a light... and what does it look like if the twigs are dropped off?), man made things composed of pieces of nature. All of it is super preliminary and just floating.
Can't wait to chat more about it.

ReplyDeletei'm keith, the music guy.
i really like these pictures,
and have been imagining similar things.
the dead-old-tree-twigs-world
the starry sky w/ tree trunk
and dead tree at sunset
are where my music's at right now, fo sho.
sound's like we're sitting on two branches
of the same tree (hehehe)
i've now been thinking of using the music
at times to 'suggest' vibrant colors,
like a rainbow of sound/textures,
while maintaining a certain decayed
atmosphere of the withered character
and to contrast the lighting/set
in their darker moments.
i'd love to talk with you more about the play,
especially the middle and final portions,
and i look forward to meeting you!!
