This piece portrays
Muscular Dystrophy. In this disorder cells are not able to produce the protein dystrophin which stabilizes muscle tissue. So the muscle cells turn into weak connective tissue. The top section of this painting shows the cells of a person with Muscular Dystrophy; the cells are faded and empty-looking. The blue strands are tangled because without dystrophin, the muscle tissue is not stable. The bottom section shows healthy muscle cells and strong muscle strands.
I didn't know you were going to flip :) it gives an interesting perspective. However it does see a bit busy....maybe you could cover up some of the white haze with more purple.
ReplyDeleteThis looks good laura! I like the interesting colors you've chosen! I can definitely tell that the two structures are different from each other for a reason. I love how you layer your pieces so maybe in your next piece take it to another level...mixed media?
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome Laura!I really love how you did the background for this one. It looks great. I think you could improve this one by making more of a focal point. Maybe you could do this by adding contrast to a part of it that you want to stand out. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteGood work! It is very clear that the background is disintegrating and that part of the molecular structure is breaking down. I would perhaps even exaggerate this further by adding more contrast to the foreground (just slightly in a few areas) to really allow that to come forward and the background to appear more faded away. You could play on this concept through greater color intensity in the foreground also. Well done!
