Shadowed Distance
2015
Glass
48" x 26"

This piece is a re-creation of a previous piece I created about a year prior. The former piece was composed of oil paint on canvas. This piece is created, simply, using two panes of glass, but the meaning is in the shadow that is projected on the wall. On the pieces of glass are etchings of blueprints - one of my room from home in New Jersey and the other of my room I currently reside in at the University of Delaware. The projected shadows are the main part of the piece representing the significance of the distance between the two places. They blueprints start in the same position on the separate panes of glass and slowly pull away from each other in opposite directions.
