Genuflection to Degas

This is the visual artists’ equivalent to practicing scales. When learning to play music, you first play other people’s music so that you can then have the repertoire to create your own. This is a stencil I made from one of Degas’ dancer paintings. By emulating Degas’ style and composition I am continuing to think through my own process.

This was done on batik paper. I think the image has a sort of Rothko effect in front of the pattern. Enjoy.
