For this body of work I've found myself more interested in form. Where in the past I used my bits and shapes to better understand and create balanced compositions, for this recent work I find myself excited about how these arrangements can create even larger forms of themselves. I'm also really interested in how negative space can be manipulated not only to inform a larger form as a whole, but can in fact become its own set of forms. As always, color is still playing a major role. In fact, I've tried to give it an even larger role by expanding my palette on each piece. In the past I may have limited my palette to three to four colors per composition in order to emphasize a compositional flow, but here, I've expanded to six to ten colors. I feel the palettes lend a certain weight to the pieces, giving the larger forms even more life. Rather than emphasizing an overall composition, you're able to dig deeper and see the role each bit, or shard, or fragment is playing in the forming of these larger forms.
