This art review by Yvonne Magno struck me as a little wordy especially after finishing Matthew Stibbe's suggestions on writing. She uses a lot of descriptive factors in describing the scene that you can see when you enter the gallery. It was interesting to attempt to see what the author was seeing. I was absolutely left with an eerie sense at the end of the article, which I believe is what Magno was going for. The only problem with achieving this goal is that I am not so sure that I would want to go visit this gallery after reading it. I am a little curious to see the actual photograms but might prefer to look them up on a google image search. The best part of this article I thought was not only her ability of getting an eerie and creepy feeling across to the audience, but also her use of describing the artistic process. I personally had no idea what a photogram was and without the description of how complex the whole thing is I would not have thought that this was a showcase worth seeing if it is just outlines of stuff. I already have a larger appreciation of this technique as an art form without ever seeing it.
