                Throughout these works i wanted to focus on lines that lead the viewers eye so I used materials like tall thin wooden sticks, wire, and paper to create negative space, movement, and leading lines to focal points. I also want the viewer to see the shadow of these pieces and the lines/ negative space those create as a part of the art as well. There were many times throughout the process where a piece wasn't supported or standing the way i wanted it to, in order to combat this i used wire which is able to bend into the shapes i want as well as support small structures like the red ball in the center of Sun. I want to keep exploring with abstract themes, there is something methodic about looking for materials that inspire you first and then building a more solid idea and further, piece of art out of them.
