Inside the square

Continuing with the square conversation… or, following up on the self imposed moratorium on non-square formats…I reminded myself to keep to this. I lived in a house many years ago that had a very big front window. We always enjoyed the wide view of the world looking out. You could watch the comings and goings of the neighbourhood. So, the question arises why we like looking at the world through smaller ‘windows’? Is it the intimacy of the viewpoint? Like spying through a keyhole? The challenge is to fill the view with significance. Or, to use the shape to highlight a patters or some other geometry or interplay of lines. After all the square format is powerful with both dimensions getting equal weight or importance. Let’s see how we can take advantage of it. I’m going to stick to it for a while.
