What is the story of this beautiful piece?
Well…I apologize for being a bit long winded here…
Cee presented the theme of Cities for her photo challenge this week. I always build or set up my subject matter for my images, and had no plans for a cityscape, so I wasn’t going to participate this week. But then I began to think about cities, and how I’ve enjoyed creating silhouettes of them digitally (http://tourmalinenow.com/2014/11/10/photography-101-connect/, http://tourmalinenow.com/2014/05/02/cover-illustration-package-torn-lace/). Then I considered the simplicity of the cities we draw as children, squarish buildings with more squares as windows. So, I got out my foamcore, box knife and hobby paints and went to work to create flat cut outs. I then painted them with a mixture of colors that I believe show various facets of city structures, metal, stone, mold, vines, etc., stood them up and separated them in front of each other to create a bit of space and placed the dark buildings against a light pastel sky (painted holographic foam core- I wiped off some paint to let the reflection of the foam core show through). I suppose I could venture to say that the lit, light colored sky represents hope against the desolation of the empty, flat, dark buildings.
Thank you for asking :)
Thanks for your time. The pieces do you built were extraordinary. I enjoyed them so much I wish I had some of them to hang in my home. I bet your readers would like to know more about your work as well. You truly are an artist.
Thank you so so much, Meredith! My work is for sale, just email me at [email protected] if you’re interested :)
A creative view, interesting idea with great colors
