Kirbyesque Space
Our final project for Drawing I was to produce 3 large pieces, in charcoal. The only real requirement was that they be explicitly non-representational - they couldn't be deliberately OF anything, or, in other words, they had to be abstract (at least by intent. It was okay if the end result ended up suggesting something representational, but it had to be emergent, rather than deliberate). This was the third of those three pieces. I don't feel like it was quite as successful as the other two, though it isn't bad. It's probably the one I approached with the most direct intent - a lot of the forms were things I planned out before putting them down, rather than just following random impulses. The dot clusters are intentional references to Jack Kirby's art, because the image was already starting to remind me of some of his wackier cosmic scenes, and I figured I may as well play it up.
