This drawing is another step in what is a progression of merging the handmade experiential quality of the crinkled paper drawings and the impossible, artificial effects of technology in the image. I have gone back to the laborious technique of rendering shadow on crinkled paper, but I have appropriated a quality that emerged in the last series of symmetrical, digitized images, that of impossible lighting. In a way, this was an attempt to impersonate the non-reality of those digitized symmetries where light flows from the center outwards. The drawing was completed one half at a time, with the light shining in and creating shadows from opposite angles each time. The result is what appears to be a symmetrical image, darkest at the outer edges and lightest in the middle. When lit from a sharp angle left to right, the direction of the lighting cancels out shadows and flattens the image on the left half of the drawing, while shadows and contrasts are amplified on the right. The reverse happens when lit at a sharp angle from right to left. From loss of illusion to exaggeration of illusion. From cancellation to amplification. Important to the investigation of hybridization and differentiation between the technological image and the pure handmade image is the idea that I have taken the subject matter (the rendering of shadow and light on the surface of crinkled paper), from its pure form, then through digital processes and effects in the second series, and finally have gone back to the pure process of creating the drawing by hand, but incorporating a visual quality that directly relates back to the artificial, digitized image.
