14 ADV ART & PORTFOLIO - Select/Reflect

This year, I made several pieces involving light and negative space. I love these concepts because they both deal with hidden meanings that are revealed if the viewer searches in the right places. It includes an 'Aha!' moment that makes the piece more interesting. Here are the pieces I have done throughout the year:

•  The Jessica piece, which was completed as the light passed through the back of the painting (the negative space was filled in)
• The Ghost Ship piece, which had layers and was revealed to be one painting as the light passed through the sheer tracing paper
• Medusa, which are two portraits on the front and back of a canvas. Light passes through it to bring the two paintings together

I also did the wax on wood that was inspired by Cy Twombly, but as much as I enjoyed creating the artwork, I found out that I would like to focus more on the negative space / light.
