NASSAU COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART: Interior Staircases
While visiting the Nassau County Museum of Art, I was mesmerized by the ambiguity of the constantly changing perspective as I stood over, under and beside the gorgeous antique staircase. The slightest physical movement of my camera shifted the illusions of forward or backward movement in space. The psychological effect of the spiraling structure was one of inhabiting an infinite place not confined by the weight of its architectural elements. Subtle changes in value in the colors of the walls pushed and pulled in both directions simultaneously - resulting in the portrayal of a space with a powerful gravitational pull that shifted directions in a fleeting moment.
