Chiaroscuro No. 2

2012

Wood, Graphite on Paper

Chiaroscuro No. 2 is comprised of 4 modular drawings. It explores the formal aspects of the drawn line on a dimensional surface; each piece begins on a flat plane and extends beyond the frame. Projected light further enhances the sense of movement across the dynamic surface, revealing and concealing the structure over time.
