The piece is what I refer to as a "topographical piece", which is to say that the design includes hills and valleys rather than a uniformly flat surface. I wanted it to look as though it is rising out of the panel. The effect is more obvious from this angle:

Medusa, detail
I've also decided to leave the piece white, and not to alter its pristine character by applying metal leaf.
Materials: torn khadi paper strips adhered to khadi sheets, on top of birch panel; gesso.
Dimensions: 36" wide x 36" high x about 4.5" deep.
Love this, Kath! Truly intriguing. Also love the concept of working the negative space. Leaving so much space around the forms is very pleasing.
