//Art 343 Shadowcourse

Originally I was going to paint designs on the small shapes and the like, but as I was placing the finished pieces together on the stage the sun was shining in my room and it created wonderful shadows that gave the stage even more designs. From then I decided that I wanted to use the shapes of the polygons that I created to make the stage, not the paints that I was going to use. To give the stage that extra kick, and to give even more shadows, I used a texture spray-paint to give the whole piece more dimension. The pieces were arranged in a spiral from the "starting point" to the hole, calling a bit to the whole space theme. For me, space is not only beautiful; it also presents emptiness to me. A planet is not empty, but a planet may be something to someone. When out in space there is nothing, not even sound.
