Concentration Piece 1

"Non-Traditional Landscape"

1. 11x 15 in.

2. there is an acrylic wash in the background and the rest is sharpie and charcoal

3. It's supposed to be like the hands are growing out of the earth. The one on the far left is the one fully grown, while the other two are still in the growing stage.

4. I think that something more needs to be added to make it seem complete. I wanted the focus to be on the drawing of the hands, and I couldn't decide on how to add something to connect the piece without taking away from them.

5. 81

So when I started trying to make the original better, I think I made it, if possible, even worse. I did the words inside the 'maze' and the hand and foot outline on top of everything. I also added more black spaces. As I added these things, though, I just couldn't see where it was going. I'm not really proud of this one..

When I first did this one, I liked the simplicity of it--how there were just the 2 drawings. But when I looked at it again a few days ago, I thought it looked terrible. This one turned out to be really frustrating because, as I added different elements, I was afraid I was losing the focal point of the screw. I wanted the focus to be on the charcoal drawing. I tried not to let it get consumed by everything else--well anyway this is how it turned out!
