Description
This piece was created with a technique I am recently using for a certain body of works using a figure-eight motion. In these types of compositions, I freely let the repeated, continuous figure-eight motion drive the piece. In this particular one, there are several tower-like forms that protrude into the sky from the landmass. The idea in this piece is to evoke a feeling of ascension or conversion from one thing or place, to another. In the piece, the figure-eight technique is applied mainly vertically and horizontally, which generates a certain contrast for the overall composition. The more �shuffled� figure-eights used to render the landmass represent current life. At certain spots the figure-eights are rendered using a more �stacked� technique, thus creating the tower-like figures. These vertical figure-eight forms fade into the sky. Because the sky was horizontally rendered using the figure-eight, it now involves a repeated infinity-symbol or sideways eight motion. The towers seem to kiss the sky, without having any real �end�, having no topmost point. This helps to convey the idea of ascension, as the tower-like forms have no end and eventually rise up to and become the infinite sky.
