Button Cross is an image that is to be viewed alongside a poem

 entitled "Shadows." This piece aimed to represent the middle tones of a gradation scale; no bright whites, no dark blacks.

 

Shadows

Light gives.

Shadows.

Darkness takes.

Light casts shadows.

Shadows.

Darkness swallows.

Light is brutal.

Life is brutal.

Shadows.

Darkness is soothing.

Death is soothing.

Shadows.

Between these extremes lay we in shadows

Striving for either perfection or the grave.

“God rest his soul” say we

For he is saved from and by the blinding light

That casts him

In shadows….

This piece combines the tactile process of art making with digital manipulation. Angle Angel began by mark making with a found object. It originated with a piece of folded paper and the final product was reached with tools in photoshop.
