Art Monday: slate fragments
Some of the dismantled pieces from my final undergrad project.
It's funny, after the discussion it provoked I have ended up dismantling it anyway. I kind of like the pieces, and I'm going to experiment with ways of hanging them on the wall. This is the type of slate pieces I've been thinking I may put into my eventual Etsy shop.
I kind of like how the slight difference in thickness of the bottom piece of slate ("gears") causes all buy the center to become blurry. Depth of field is funny with scanners.
Here's an up close picture of my brushstrokes on that creepy eye. You can see I didn't use white, I instead used naples yellow and naples yellow red, which I think give it a tired feel.
