Seeing Straight

By Lucinda Burgess 2016
Long lines exaggerate the constantly changing nature of direct experience as they alter according to the laws of perspective, and when lines are seen through glass at an angle they change their position and are broken up. What is seen is directly connected to the position of the viewer in space, reiterating the fact that all experience is personal and that there is no such thing as 'Seeing Straight'!
