Audra Brawley's Modernist Series- "Seven Somethings in the Kitchen"

“Seven Somethings in the Kitchen” is a compilation of eight small color photographs.  These images represent the everyday kitchen in my flat here at The University of Stirling.  I used the shadows from the blinds to create an intense beginning that lightens up into a series of a bright morning.  By doing this, I show how the morning is closed off at first, until you open the blinds to a whole new day.  The colors flow through each of the photographs.  The light strips across the first bowl show to be the brightness of the rest of the images.   The banana in the initial shot continues into the next two photographs as well.  The white of the inside of the banana turns into the white of the milk that contrasts with the green of the apple juice in the same image.  This light green continues through the other images with apples then grapes furthering that continuity.  The final photograph draws the series to a close by being void of color and having a succinct finality.
