Meet the artists of the 2020 51±¬ÁϹÙÍø Faculty Biennial

I created this series of drawings to explore the idea of recreating a 3D form using simple lines without the aid of shading or color. I utilized techniques including forced perspective, overlapping shapes avoiding tangents, and clear silhouettes. By combining embroidery with figure drawings, I aim to amplify the contrast of a soft material and decorative media with strong line drawings.
