Lily Moore project critique

Nature by Lily Moore appropriated people or things into warmer climates that are usually found in colder climates. Most of her photographs showed this theme very well. In a great example that portrayed her theme, Lilly photographed a river and appropriated a man in winter clothing about to jump in. Usually you would find people in their bathing suits if they were planning on jumping in a river, but he was wearing winter clothing so it made you think what he was actually planning to do at the edge of the rock looking out onto the river. Also, the photograph of the girl in the big white sweater was very well thought out of how Lilly decided to place it on the wall. It gave it a new element by hanging it sideways and made you think about the underlying idea behind this photograph. Though most of her photographs kept up with this theme, I do not understand how appropriating a hot air balloon on a summer day fits with all the rest of the photos. When I see hot air balloons I think of warmer climates and so by putting a hot air balloon in a warmer climate, it doesn’t fit as well with the theme as all the other photographs do. All together Lilly’s project was very well executed, and she made the contract between colder and warmer climates blend very well together.
