The assignment for this piece was to show the relation between objects in the still life usingonly positive and negative space along with surface quality and directional movement. For this piece it was necessary to leave a darker border around the edge of the piece to keep the eye of the viewer from wandering off the page.
This piece was a close-up study of surface quality on a piece by Henry Moore. The section I chose was originally a few jagged lines from a boulder in a mine. The composition seemed uninteresting and unfinished. I employed a technique I learned in a workshop with Frank Shelton, adding and covering what I had done with numerous layers and washes until an image popped out at me.
