During todays class I was very taken back by the work of Spencer Tunick. At first I was somewhat grossed out by his unconventional method of creating art, but upon visiting his own website I found some more pieces that were really interesting to look at. I could definitely see how people could find Tunick's work offensive, but I would really encourage them to take a second look at his pieces. At first all I could see was nudity, but once I looked past that I really began to grow an appreciation for his unique work. The piece below really caught my attention because of the surroudnings. Most of his other works seem to take place in more urban environments and I really loved how this piece was in a natural setting. I also really liked how after I looked at the image for a while the people almost disappeared and seemed like they just fit in the with the mountain range. Furthermore, on Tunick's website he had a much smaller section that had images of individuals as opposed to large groups. I found these to have less of an impact, but I still have a great appreciation for the creativity and unique concepts Tunick uses.
