Portal 52

There are so many portals in this image; doors, windows, flowers, a boat, the canals… They all fit into my definition of portals for the purposes of this project. They are a means of transportation or transition of some sort. These are just the portals that exist in the physical realm, the ones that are obvious to a viewer. But there are also the non-physical portals that exist ‘behind the scene’ so to speak.

In considering a theme for my Studio 52 project, I was mindful of the need to have enough resource material or reference photos at hand. The theme would have to be sustainable, hold my interest and be broad enough for me to explore. I wanted to challenge myself, artistically speaking, to push out of my comfort zone, since that is where the real learning occurs.
