Hall Entrance









This is my latest piece. The only part that is painted on the wall is the brown shape at the bottom and the small rectangle in the center that is illuminated. Every thing else on the wall is created with light. The small light is the direct light from the lamp, the large dark rectangle is blocked out with paper, and the sides are diffused light. I also blocked out light from hitting the brown angular shape at the bottom.
This piece proved to be difficult to photograph. That's fine though; as I'm viewing this one as more of a sketch or experiment. The piece looks much better in person. I wasn't able to capture the perspective play very well in the images because the piece is too big. The first image is from outside my studio looking in and is not HDR. The others are HDR.
Things are going pretty smoothly in the studio. I'm not getting nearly as much studio time in as I was when I was ramping up for my show last year, but the time I do get in is very productive. I have been trying to work towards getting more done in shorter time. The only drawings I'm doing right now are of the building behind ours. They aren't finished or thoughtful drawings, but rather just an attempt to record the building and spend some time really looking at it before they tear it down.
