In Depth Project : Abstraction of the Form

For my Pattern and Ornament In-Depth piece, I made a charcoal and fabric based drawing using a 6ft x 3ft brown paper and I used drum sticks, and red ribbon as the support. This Japanese inspired piece presents an Oni mask and a Tengu mask both used for protection against evil spirits, aid for good luck, and celebratory attire. The Japanese writing on the top right corner translates to passion in which I used passionate as my personality trait for the piece. In relation to the ornamental chair, the skin of the dragons represent the cushions of the chair. The spikes on the spine represent the tuners on the bass guitars from the chair, and the Oni and Tengu masks represent my appreciation for theatre.
