Artistically Inspired: Orion's Belt
http://colleenblackard.blogspot.com/2009/05/orions-belt.html
Monday, May 11, 2009. Archival ink ballpoint pen on paper. This drawing was loosely based on a hubble deep space image of Orion's belt. I chose this recognizable image in order to ground the viewer with a familiar constellation. This way, one can enter a familiar image, but see it in a completely new light.

Saturday, October 10, 2009. Pathway Through The Stars. Pathway Through The Stars. Archival Ink Ballpoint Pen on Vellum. When creating this drawing, I kept in mind the view from earth when we look directly up at the night sky. We can faintly detect the distant glow. Of the milky way, but it's impossible for our eyes to take in every detail. However, with this image, it's as if the haze of the atmosphere clears and our eyes are free to travel through the star-scape. Pathway through the stars. Solo show at ...
