I like Art that doesn’t necessarily do what it is expected to do, or that is a little out of the box. Photography would usually be displayed in a 2 dimensional form and even if there are additions to the photograph or layers added to it digitally or manually, it would usually stay 2d. There are several artists who have crossed over to the third dimension for example Gwon Osang
is a Korean artist who photographs hs subject 360 degrees, using hundreds of photos per sculpture, build his subject in 3 dimensions, which is an interesting process, both technically and philosophically - dismantling and then rebuilding something is a slightly different manner.
I just discovered another artist who also thinks a little out of the box, who’s work is very different than Gwon’s because he uses photographs as his building blocks, where as Letha Wilson keeps the photograph the center of her work, expanding on it or emphasising the topic in different ways, often transitioning into 3D.
Appalachian Trail
Talk about the image ‘jumping out ‘ at you.
The Corps of Discovery II
And So On (California)
All Images from Letha’s site
Both the Appalachian Trail and And So On (California) have the most calming effect on me, making me feel that I am a step away from being in the ocean or wading in a stream.

Those are all different i must say but also very cool. Talk about thinking outside the box. LoL
But still very cool.
I have been seeing alot of these kinds of effects, specifically with paintings, but even alot of landscape photography. it is a very unique idea and gives the image a more dramatic and real effect.
Pretty cool. Not necessarily a new idea per say. They’ve been doing similar things in Europe for centuries. Winsor cathedral, for example, has a very extensive collection of paintings created in this 3D type of style. Excellent blog!
I agree Floppy - hard to come by an original idea - ( I forget the name of the book from the bible but even king solomon said that nothing is new under the sun :-)
Its the interpretation and presentation that will determine if a piece flys or dives
