Creating Abstract Art: Deconstructing a Design

Video Transcript

"Can I start playing around with the idea of a cage, but moving away from the idea of a ribcage, and is that an idea that can get me further to where I want to be, which means that I'm going to need more of these black things. But what I'm trying to give you is the sense of you know freedom to think aloud, which I also often do, to explore, and just see what you can come up with. At this point, it's suddenly starting to be about shapes. Now, I'm starting to get, see I'm developing the shape here, and I've got these triangles happening here, and I'm starting to like this sort of rhythm that's going on between these. So I might decide that my picture plane is here, instead of all the way over there. And I'm starting to develop a movement of these lines and triangles, and I'm starting to think that might make a good design. So, it's I've deconstructed it; it's no longer a ribcage. It has elements of it, but now it's deconstructed, and now it's in the nonobjective realm. Now you can't look at this and say, oh, she was looking at a skeleton when she worked on this."
