reification

With the use of other shapes another is formed, as the first image uses the four shapes not joined together to form the square with the empty space inbetween. From http://people.csail.mit.edu/fredo/ArtAndScienceOfDepiction/figGroundVasa.gif and http://www2.plymouth.ac.uk/distancelearning/course/pragnanz2.gif The second image using the empty space within the black negative picture to form yet another one which I find quite interesting. Called reification as it uses other shapes to actually form another one where you didn't expect it. In the empty space between the objects.
The box at the top made of other images. although it conveyed this concept well, I did not like it, it just seemed plain and uninteresting as it was just a box, unlike the two images hugging each other as it is not a plain primitive object but makes another shape with the image around it. althoug it was just black and white I think in this circumstance it was the right colours to display the reification
