This is my progress on my limitations piece, inspired by work done by Ed Fairburn. This week I have focused on finishing the graphite drawing before moving on to more detailed aspects of the piece. I have been challenged as I draw to work my drawing around the intricate patterns of roads and highways. I really want to make the portrait seem like it is a part of the map, which is why I have been careful not to draw over some of the roads intersecting within her head covering and her face. This highlights the roads and makes her seem to be even more a part of Atlanta, where all of the roads seem to lead to. In the coming week, I plan to continue making this piece more detailed by lightly drawing the figure of the woman over the edge of Georgia and into the yellow portion of the map. Then, I plan to cut out pieces of the map to create intricate designs and lacy patterns with the roads. Then, I hope to layer this map on top of another one, color showing through to provide shading and contrast. I am incredibly excited about the progress of this piece and I can't wait to see what else I can do with it.
