Metasurface hopefully provides a novel view of the warp and weft of contemporary visual culture, contemporary visuality, and issues pertaining to graphicacy. We would like to explore a host of issues - not just those pertaining to visual culture and communication - such as creative communities (the emphasis of my research), design culture, design education, art and design in rural America, teaching in higher education and host of corollary topics.

The Road
Illustration Friday: Horizon
I finished reading Cormac McCarthy's The Road a while back and it has haunted me since. I tried, with this image, to capture the darkness and the gray landscape that makes the story so vivid yet suffocating.
This image keeps drawing me back to it. I really like night scenes, and the blue hues are nice, as I see them on my browser. However, I get a different emotional response than suffocating or heavy. My feeling is more welcoming and releasing, like I'm "coming home." But I suppose our responses to visual art, music and poetry depend so much on our various experiences and ways of perception.
