This is my chosen image and the idea from the brainstorming I want to mention is the use of colour and how that can interpret the meaning behind the work by Catherine Yass.
1. My first argument and idea i would like to put across is the image itself has a lot of questions about it and it is not actually quite clear of what it is trying to tell us maybe this is how Catherine Yass wanted us to think. Behind most of her work is hidden meanings of the subject she has chosen to display. I believe in this picture that I have chosen the colour show hidden meanings and that every colour has a meaning that goes with it. the idea of the colours seeping through each other and the light box is making this more noticeable and making the colours brighter.
2. The most prominent colours that come through in the picture are green and blue and when exploring into the meanings of colour I realized how they go together well but also how they contrast with each other because blue is one of the most popular colours out of colour wheel and it mainly means that it is calm and relaxing but it also has the feeling on sadness and like the phrase ' feeling blue' this is also like the colour green which is associated with peace and nature because of the grass and countryside we see but green can have a dark side to it and also represents envy. This relates back to the picture of what is an asylum and the idea of depression and peoples feelings.
3. My final argument could be about saying how this picture relates to depression and it could not be an actual asylum and could be in someone's head and they feel like they are going mad or depressed and feel they are locked up and the colours that are used are what they associate with these feelings. The idea of it all being in their head and they are imagining these colours and they are not real cause this wouldn't be the real colour of the asylum or in a way this is what they would want it to look like.
