Macro vs Micro

So I am very excited about this new project. I think it's very different from any of the ones we have done previously, especially since many of us probably are considering doing the nursing competition. I have seen alot of people starting them and most of them are very biologically themed so it should be interesting. For mine I am hoping to somehow collaborate brain cancer cells and then the support ribbons that have raised money for research on this disease. The ribbon color for general cancer is pink so I am going to layer and intertwine the two. One of the things that made me think of the whole layering aspect was Paul Carpenter's work in the recent Undergrad Show. Some of you probably know him, I think he is a senior painting major. I do not, but I found his work really amazing. He layers scene upon scene on his canvases with various colors and different areas of dripping paint and sketchy line quality. It really is quite unique to see. Hopefully I will depict a layering quality similiar to that but with my own spin on it.
