While Mr. F and I are camping in Yosemite, I’m resharing some posts you might have missed the first go ’round! Enjoy!
Just the other day, I was saying to Mr. Forager, “Can you believe it’s been almost two years since..” We seem to say that to each other a lot these days. Time just moves really quickly, especially when you’re looking back. In her work, Toronto artist Monica Tap investigates the line between movement and perception, resulting in dazzling abstracted landscapes.
Tap bases her work on Quicktime videos of the streaming landscape as seen from the windows of cars, buses, and trains. Reproducing that magical effect of obscured color and light we so enjoyed as kids.. staring out the window as the world passed us by.
During those long car or train rides, we couldn’t wait to get where we were going, so often we enjoyed just letting the blur go by. But as adults, I wish I could just stop the blur sometimes and enjoy it for the wonderful time it is.
Is life moving too fast for you these days? Or maybe, like me, you’re impatiently waiting for a change and things don’t seem to be moving fast enough?! Want to see more of Monica Tap’s intriguing landscapes? Visit her website here.
