      I believe this would be an example of Gude's "Layering." It looks like the artist took various existing skin images, then cut them, rearranged and overlapped them to form a hand.

      This looks like an example of Gude's "Interaction of Text & Image." There is a woman inside of a dark hood with many textual descriptions of how she feels eminating around her.

      What would it have been like to see synthetic cubism for the first time? How would I have responded to newspaper literally glued to the surface of Picasso's work? 100 years later, it is commonplace. Appropriation and layering, two postmodern concepts in Gude's 2004 article, are inherent in collage. This postcard layers textures beneath two images of plastic army men. I don't understand what the elements in the background are, but visually, they resembles the desert. Perhaps it is meant to evoke the landscape of the Middle East and being unable to control the movement (evidenced by the eratic arrows) of a loved one in the army. In my own reading of the image, it is about a loved one, not oneself, because the figures appear to be on the telephone. (I could be completely off-base here, since I know nothing of army paraphenalia). I think of my friend who hears from her brother via internet chat that his group is moving to a less protected area. She is powerless, not in control, unable to help him.

      This post is a great use of metaphor. I usually think of empowerment as something that comes from within. This artists uses physical strength portrayed in a yoga pose as a metaphor for inner empowerment. I also think the' 'wind' coming from her hands acts as a metaphor for all that she is capable of changing and what she is changing. I also think yoga itself can be interpreted as an installation piece commenting on empowerment and struggle.

      This seems to be another example of layering. When I first viewed this image I thought it was a combination of images manipulated with a program like Photoshop. However, when I zoomed it it looks like the artist used different fabrics and meshes in layers to arrange this image.

      I didn't do this right last night, but on the image below. This image is another example of layering. When I first saw it I thought it was different images manipulated and layered in a program like photoshop. When I zoomed in I realized it was actually, or appears to be, layers of mesh and fabric.
