12 The Role of Shadow in Cognition …We are more or less aware of the presence of shadows, since they tell us something about our environment, but we do not actually look at them - unless they call attention to themselves by some unfamiliar or unexpected behavior. My challenge was to induce viewers to actually look at the shadow rather than solely at the steel. I began shifting more of the narrative burden to shadow. The more content the eyes could detect in the shadow, the more time and attention they would expend on exploring its details… Taking Aim, 2002
Discoveries …simply finding that it was possible to give both shadow and solid equal and complementary visual roles in describing a single image was a step forward. …a “new kind of thing”: an object that is half solid and half shadow - a hybrid. Imagine an object/shadow line drawing of a cube. Half is drawn in steel and half in shadow. Together they constitute a complete cube. Simple to be sure, but there are no objects like this in nature.
