Final Rayogram

I chose to focus on contrast when I created this image. I think that the image illustrates contrast because there is a competing mixture of both natural and unnatural elements that create an interesting contrast. I made sure to incorporate both organic shapes and more angular, structured shapes to provide a contrast between items. There is also contrast between the mesh and the black space in the background. I chose to use various industrial materials including chains, nuts and bolts, nails, and screwdrivers and organic materials like fern leaves and honeycombs. I chose the screwdrivers because they are very strong solid shapes that provide the piece with structure. I especially liked that one of the screwdrivers was slightly translucent because I think that this created an interesting dimensional effect. I also chose the honeycomb because it is both opaque and translucent and creates interesting shadows that evoke depth. i think the disorganization of the chains throughout the piece provides some variation and interest to the otherwise organized and balanced piece.
