Abelardo Morell

Abe Morell is a very interesting artist with a unique taste. He was born in Cuba, but did most of his work in Boston. According to wikipedia, he is well known for doing camera obscura images ("an optical device that projects an image of its surroundings on a screen.") It is usually done on landscapes and other places around the world, for example I know he did one piece in Italy. One very interesting piece of his is when he made a tent in Big Bend National Park in Texas. It was a very interesting piece that kind of transformed the surrounding landscape onto paper, into a kind of rough painting image. 

The other piece that I really liked was other on location piece that was also done in Big Bend National Park, Texas in 2010. Basically, he used his own light to make a humongous square on the side of a huge mountain. This makes a very interesting piece, it makes it look like an outside theater, where you could play movies on the side of a mountain. Also, it looks cool because it makes the mountain itself look more like a silhouette. 

Overall, I think his work is definitely an interesting process with very cool effects. The different outcomes that he gets is amazing and something that would be fun to try out someday.
