Light and Shade -Two Drawings
Light and shade is to drawing what chaos and order are to life.
Together they describe form. Graphite produces a dappled and
grainy effect, as the form of the plant appears to be fused with light.
A cross section, in the second drawing, shows the central core.
The shadow throws balance into the equation, making a dance of
light and dark across the two drawings.
