TEXTURE // SPACE

t e x t u r e

ACTUAL: Since actual texture is something you can physically recognize by touch, the puppy's fur, the carpet he's sitting on and the leather boot he's chewing on all demonstrate surfaces with actual texture. The exposed brick can be felt sticking out from the wall, the kitty's fur and towel she's wrapped in, and the smooth glass container of the honey are all identifiable textures.

IMPLIED: these surfaces all look as though they have a physical texture but actually do not. The swirls on the cross are painted to look 3D yet are actually flat against the canvas. The wallpaper has images of flowers on it that look as though they somewhat emerge from the wall but do not. The geometric rug itself has actual texture but the hexagon shapes on it are flat even though they look like parts of the carpet are raised. The wooden planks on the floor are flat, but appear knotty and ridged from the floor even though they are flat and smooth.

ACTUAL:

these spaces are actual in nature because they are intended for a purpose--their uses being socially recognizable. When you walk into a church and see the pews you are forced to sit down between the rows and face the front. The space was created for that purpose. Same is said of a dinning room table. You know to sit at the table because that's why it was made. 

IMPLIED:

These spaces on the other hand were put together by someone to imply a certain position--to somehow force whoever is using the space to use it the way it was set up. This doesn't mean, however, that this space is permanent. (like the church pews) The sofas, chairs, boats, and beach chairs can be positioned in a multitude of ways, but whoever set them up this way implied for them to be used the way they are shown. The pathway for the boats would be much wider if a row of boats were not present of if more boats were to occupy a space, chaining the implications of the boat's path into the harbor. The beach chairs could be set up like they are shown, or in groups of two to imply more privacy.
