For this assignment I chose a heightened angle to work from in order to show the inside of my daily life. I chose to omit color from the outside view of the street and buildings below so as to create a feeling of a safe haven, a place where I am removed from the business and the stress of this 1 million inhabitant mega-city.
I used dipping pen and ink and wax crayon as the medium to express controlled mark which I hope reflect a feeling of serenity and safety. The small watermelon served as a counterpoint for the red cushion and some symbolism. I left the maximum amount of light in the work to further enhance the mood and create a sense of isolation. I attempted to emphasize the slightly skewed perspective as to enhance the piece creatively.
I hope that the vagueness of the marks on the outside of the balcony work give depth and distance.
