What Do You Think?

Suns by PenelopeUmbrico

                After viewing this image of Penelope Umbrico’s work, I do not think this is a misappropriated image.  I could understand why people would mistake her work for a misappropriated image because she probably didn’t photograph each image of the sun herself.  On the other hand, the composition created by the combination of individual images of the sun composes a greater image.  Umbrico uses a variety of suns to create a unified piece of her own.  Because these suns are not used for a bad purpose, these individual images makes Umbrico’s image fairly used.  I think her work is very clever based on the concept and grid form of the image.
