20x200 Red Plastic Plates, Nancy

When I went on the 20x200 website many images "spoke" to be because they are so colorful and unique. This image in particular captured my attention, "Red Plastic Plates" by Ann Toebbe. The artists said that the image was made by cutting our pieces of paper and painting them. It's funny because the red plastic plates weren't the first thing that struck my attention when I saw this image but rather the dimension and view. The upper wall where the kitchen entrance is in normal 2-D but the rest of the image is flat. I think this gives a lot of character to the image and how artwork can be viewed in two different ways even though it is one image. The idea of cutting out the objects from pieces of paper was the reason that the table and plates and down flat. I also like this image because it reminds me of a nice, well kept house. Many contemporary images of rooms in houses remind me of my own home.
