NOTES:
"Dawn" is the companion to "The Gloaming" and is based on a collage of Detroit with the dynamics of decline and rise. “Dawn” uses the diamond shape, plunging perspectives and dramatic lighting to emphasize a topic of decay and renewal and the replacement of craft and personality with economy and impersonality. The elements are borrowed the skylines of Detroit and Chicago. It is the yin of its yin/yang companion “Gloaming”. A foreground of fading crafted structures frames a faceless skyscraper rising in the background. Both works segued into the “Fabulous Ruins of Detroit” web art project. “Dawn” is a Micropointillist technique acrylic on canvas painting was created using only the three primary colors of yellow, red and blue.
