Framed by fishers

Framed

The latest additions to the Museum Gardens in York are a series of picture frames, giving the opportunity to see a view which is in some way inspired by Monet.

This is in conjunction with the nearby art gallery where ‘The Water-Lily Pond’ (1899) by Monet is on loan as part of an exhibition to mark the 200th anniversary of the National Gallery (on 10 May 2024).

The frames provide a variety of scenes to produce a Monet-esque photo. We featured an example of my efforts in May ( https://365project.org/fishers/365/2024-05-30 ), and another will be posted tomorrow.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

It is interesting to see how the frames have been placed around the Museum Gardens, but perhaps even more interesting to see how people are making use of them. Quite a few photos are being taken of people stood behind the frames, a few were being more creative and standing in front of the frame looking into the view the photographer was shooting. It is quite fascinating to people watch how the frames are being used!
