Penumbra

Penumbra is a large scale 36" x 45" charcoal drawing on watercolor paper. Penumbra is based off the "Vetruvian Man" by Leonardo Da Vinci. The piece is abstract in nature and uses field of view and focus to draw the eye into the anatomy of the figure. The original work is framed in a custom built glass picture frame using sustainably sourced lumber. There is a one inch border between the work and the frame as well as a 1/4" border between the work and the glass. The work is floated on a piece of white painted lauan plywood instead of matboard, in order to preserve the industrial installation. The piece can be easily hung as it already has ooks hangars installed.

The print reproduction of my work is printed on 330 gsm hot press archival print paper. This museum quality print faithfully captures the fine details of the work down to the individual pencil marks. This print has no border. This decision was made due to the white negative space utilized in the work as well as maximizing the space available in the print. The print is rolled carefully into mailing tubes to avoid creasing or other damage during shipping.
