My former student, Steph Douglas '12 forwarded me
this lovely piece by Thomas Quinn, a graphic designer living in Chicago.
To my mind, it reminds me of several things we did in class:
- the first day when we taped windows, we learned that there's just one spot to see the same picture that the "art director" saw;
- we drew letters on a flat paper looking like they receded into this distance. Quinn reverses this by making letters that actually do recede into the distance appear to be flat. Cool!; and
- when we prove theorems about projective geometry, are looking at a real Truth? Or are we just futzing around with axioms and perspective?
