Concentration Section
The central idea of my concentration is the investigation and integration of
Zen tangle patterns and line used to create Aquatic life, underwater, and
otherworldly creatures in their imaginary environments. My works are
typically very light, in terms of materials and color as I use watercolor,
colored pencil, graphite, and Photoshop.
The work in my concentration demonstrates the exploration of my idea as I
used originality and innovation through the way I used Zen tangles on
creatures to exaggerate their forms and environments bringing a sense of
wonder, joy, happiness and childlike excitement.
I emphasized color that is ever changing and fluid, but each scheme
creates a mood of its own, adding to the subject. Growth is demonstrated in
the process of investigation as I started with vibrant, boisterous waves of
both color and line in the first 5 pieces. I then chose to combine color with
black and white to create a somber and mysterious mood in C6. Then I
continued with that mood in the later stages of my concentration as I ended
with C11, which was purely black and white.
My skills using media and materials are displayed by precisely drawn
patterns throughout and in the case of C3, C8, C9 and C10, I integrated the
hand drawn creatures into Photoshop to unify the subject with it’s
environment.
The purpose of my concentration is to bring joy while viewing my art.
