Untitled, 2009 by Erica Allen

I have a new post up on the HHS! Blog.

I find myself almost mesmerized by contender Erica Allen’s image above, but I can’t land on the central reason why. I thought that it might be the graphic composition, the shadows, or maybe the inharmonious shades of green. But I think that it’s the way all of these visual elements come together to hold my attention, even without a clear rationale. When I encounter ambiguous work like this I often go to the wall text but the image is called Untitled, 2009.
