FIGURE GROUND - FALL 2015
[Bristol Vellum ; 1000H Vellum ; Sharpie ; Graphite ; Watercolor ; Collage ; Charcoal ; Foam Core]
In order to derive Figure Grounds, I first created a photo collage that was then broken down into abstract components. Frames of these components were then captured and used as Figure Grounds. Selecting one, I then studied how the shapes could be redefined and explored in terms more broad than simply black and white. For the final model, I focused on simplifying the complex connections and exploring the differences between dynamic and subtle movement.
