Vitruvian Dance

 Last night was an "Art Showdown" I got talked into. Six artists challenged to produce something in two hours. This one was my effort.

Of course the two hours is a bit of a fiction, in that I'd got the drawing done, I'd cut the paper to size and I'd prepared the blocks in advance. And we all know the first two hours of any art is spent staring into space. So hardly a spectator sport.

Anyway I did manage to cut and print a rough copy in the time available. Then I got up this morning and tidied it up and printed the obligatory 10.

As you can see, the "concept", such as it is, is not deep. It takes Leonardo's drawing (often called "Vitruvian Man") and applied the idea to the "Naomi" pictures I'd done in recent months. And then channelling a bit of De Stijl to add another layer of ideal proportion to the thing. Finally it became Vitruvian Dance because Naomi is a dancer, and it looks like that's what she's doing here.
