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.
Exhibited at The New York Hall of Science as part of Innovation for a Tangible World Group Exhibition.
