Shape Line Form
Overview
These three artworks were made during the same period, each one I created under a different set of constraints.
Chill Rider
April 2021
Every polygon is a quadrilateral, fitting seamlessly against the next with no gaps and no overlaps. I built volume through solid colors and tonal shifts. The skateboard is there for the contrast: a slow animal on the fastest thing it could ride.
Insect Orchestra
May 2021
This piece is about what we throw away, drawn entirely in line with stroke weight doing the work of light, shadow, and texture. I imagined the insects as a band, each member playing an instrument made from trash. They are performing with the very materials that are destroying their world.
Her
June 2021
A portrait of my daughter. I started with as much detail as possible, then simplified down to what felt essential. The overlapping transparent shapes build the face through accumulation, letting form emerge from color rather than outline.
