Negative Space

This piece is a wood engraving on paper and uses negative space to create the form of a whale’s tale peaking above the water by the white marks surrounding it. The artist carved the white marks leaving the area of the tale negative to create the familiar shape.

A Few of My Favorite Things

1. Golf ball. Golf is one of my main passions in life and is something I aspire to do professionally. I don’t know what my life would look like without golf.

2. Book. Reading is one of my favorite pastimes. I love nothing more than getting completely immersed in a great book, and I often find myself unable to put one I love down without finishing it. 

3. Apple Pencil. Art is another passion of mine, and my favorite medium to work in is digital. I would love nothing more than to get a job working in digital art, specifically within animation. I find myself always drawing on my iPad in Procreate and it was what I first started drawing digitally in. 

4. Streamsong ball marker. My favorite golf course is Streamsong, and I have a lot of great memories associated with playing there. I collect ball markers of all the courses I play and my Streamsong one is my favorite. I always wear it on my hat whenever I play golf.

5. Game controller. Another big hobby of mine is playing video games. I grew up playing them on various consoles, and I have a lot of great memories playing them with my brother. 

6. Earbuds. It is rare to see we without an earbud in my ear as I love listening to music whenever I can.
