Here i've taken Barnett Newman's controversial 'Voice of Fire' and recreated it as a vector image. This piece more than any is key to my response to the brief. Barnett claimed that the size of the artwork was enough to evoke a feeling of ones own self:
'At the time, Americans were facing moral dilemmas raised by the Vietnam war. According to the artist’s widow, this conflict was of enormous concern to him. The painting does not evoke the war directly, but, [makes] each viewer aware of the place where he or she is standing.'

If the size is the only aspect which has a profound effect on the viewer, then why shouldn't an Illustrator vector I knocked together in less than a minute have exactly the same effect (If at the same size?).
