# Set 3 critique

- 3-2 (the cage at the boundary): the dome and top ring stand clear against the sky; below the grass line the bars continue the blades. The cage reads as the place where the field's verticals become ordered: pattern made of the field, visible without the caption.
- 3-3 (grass leaning hard, counterexample): with the blades crossing, the cage's verticals no longer belong to the field and the cage separates. The rhyme depends on the parallels. Confirms 3-2.
- 3-5 (Cezanne graphite): lighter and greyer; the relation still reads. It is in the arrangement.
- 3-6 (standing in grass to the chin, counterexample to kneeling): the relation holds standing. Submersion is the frame, not the pose.
- 3-1 (cage clear above the grass): the cage is an object held up, apart from the field. Weaker than 3-2.
- 3-4 (off-centre): small gain; the ruled grass top dominates it.

## Faults across the set
1. The grass top is a ruled line (the strip habit again, now crossing her at the chin).
2. Her forearm passes through the cage (the cage hangs from the hand in front of the arm): it reads as an arm in a cage, an accident.
3. The lowered left arm reads as a dark stick, not lost.
4. The prompt says "tethered", and no thumbnail has used a tether between hand and cage.
5. The mannequin head reads as an egg with a cap: the stage's figure is too crude to carry a face.

## Decision
Direction: the cage at the boundary (3-2, 3-6). Passage 1 question: how should the boundary between field and sky be made (ragged, drawn) so that it crosses her and the cage, with the cage hung from her hand by a tether and the other arm lost into the grass?
