Framing question
The interplay of light and shadow is an important concept in these art works. Outline how it
is both the subject and raw material of both. List the formal qualities evident in each art work.
Consider and compare the manipulation of 2D materials to explore 3D forms by accounting for the
art making process of each. Would you classify either as representational, abstract or both?
Discuss the success of each artwork in capturing the essence of their subject?

I investigated how an audience's 'point of view' and their perceptions affect the dimensions and shadows in an artwork. Both light and shadow are intangible; they can be easily manipulated from minimal to extreme. How we view shadow - the 'negative' effect or the lack of light - depends on the direction and intensity of its source. As we move around the object, our Point of View changes.
Darkness, or shadow, is the opposite of light. From the shadows it is perceived as darkness; from a position in the light, it is shadow. That is my Negative Illumination Theory.
