I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s diminished to give it a different housing though. In fact, it may be more effective; art infiltrating daily life.<\/p>\n<p>Making this drawing was a new process for making a seamless artwork, though it&#8217;s carrying on what I&#8217;ve done before with the cover of &#8220;Dreaming of Uzbekistan&#8221; (used also as the tiling background of the Jeffco website), and with Karla&#8217;s dress pattern. This time however, math was a lot more important as the repeated elements had to travel around a central point consistently. And I made it a repetition of five elements because I figured a trained chimp could figure out how to do a repetition of four.<\/p>\n<p>I took it into Photoshop for colouring, and while it was originally intended as highly saturated colours of blue, green and yellows, I wasn&#8217;t feeling it, and felt it was being a bit too literal in elemental colours. I went with colours for Sarah to go with colours I know she likes and again hopefully make it more accessible. Compromise? Perhaps, but we make decisions throughout the creative process with plenty of different motivations and decisions. It&#8217;s no shame to see the goal of the artwork and work towards it. Overall I think it works better this way, though I have my doubts on it&#8217;s reception&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-6677840900957055\";\n\/* Blog Horizontal banner *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"0242547762\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 468;\ngoogle_ad_height = 60;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[78,7],"tags":[52,18,17],"class_list":["post-751","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-artwork-studio","category-studio","tag-artwork","tag-birthday","tag-millrosses"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Artwork: Element Core (For Sarah) &#8211;
