Artwork

Perceiving (2017)

By Julia Fry

Width: 21Height: 14.8

From the artist:

Perceiving began with a circle in the middle of the page, which I used a compass to draw. I decided I wanted the picture to consist of circles, some of them incomplete, and I followed my intuitive urges from that point.

I feel like the image has something to do with perceiving and the filters (limiting beliefs, for example) that get in the way of seeing clearly. It makes me feel like something is going on and I can nearly, but not quite, grasp it. Blending the colours delicately together was very pleasing, as was imagining the characters of the individual circles. I hope viewers will enjoy the gentle softness of colours. I used coloured pencils on paper.
