Onion

This was the last project in 3-D Design. We had to abstract a vegetable. This was my first attempt at abstraction and I chose an onion as my veggie. It was a lot harder then I thought it was going to be. It is acrylic on paper and took between 4 and 6 hours to make. I spent a lot of time looking at the layers and cross sections of it and that is where the subject matter came from.

I really enjoy the playfulness of this piece. I also did this project and it's amazing the kind of imagery you can produce from a vegetable. You almost get other imagery, if they weren't intensional, I can almost see a car shape on the left hand side. This gives me the feeling of a dream, with crazy shapes, almost representing contorted images of what you would see everyday.
