KEYSTONE FEATURE
2006


16 x 12 cm

mixed media on cardboard

 

KEYSTONE FEATURE was taken from a surviving keystone sculpture at the Old Opera site in Valletta . I tried to breathe life into this particular stone carving by adding dynamic gold lines and hinting at ‘coloured' pupils in the eyes.


The whole drawing is covered with energetic hatchings and cross hatchings, enhanced by selective lighting.
