Anbangbang Billabong – cont.

Once again I overlaid two digital images with various types of paper where my aim was to play with transparencies.

In the first panel the image beneath was reversed with the pen – line outlined image of a palette becoming the site of departure for a metaphorical journey to the artists’ mental underworld of creative inspiration.

TheĀ first digital layer looked very different when a sheet of black pastel paper covered figurative elements of the composition beneath. A sheet of rice paper over black made a mottled grey texture of varying thickness within the paper’s texture. I left the bottom half remained much the same except for a piece of rust stained paper harmonious with orange sections of the composition.

 

An organic appearance of the first image transformed into a combination of abstraction plus elements of the organic.
