Fall Into My Blue

Art
Written By Emma Qi

These artworks depict a sense of catharsis in confronting chaos. Up close, there is a rigidity to the artworks - vertical parallel hatching in ranging thicknesses provide structure and order. Yet, when viewed from afar, high contrast areas detract from the focal point, drawing attention to the haphazard arrangement of composition. The drawings allow for a representation of turmoil within a controlled, imaginary space. There is a visual dissonance in this piece; amongst the pandemonium lies quiet order.

Black and white ink drawing. 2 skeletons occupy either side of the artwork. Left, black underwater background. Right, white, treetop background. The gesture and face toward each other.
Black and white ink drawing. 2 figures in a boat, rowing in a flooded sunflower field at nighttime. The sky is black with a crescent moon in white, and small fish in the water below.
Black and white ink drawing. Complex and flowing drawings of marine creatures, mushrooms, flowers and structures. At the bottom left, a figure sits at a desk, deep in thought.
Black and white ink drawing. Many moths and butterflies and abstract crystal shapes on a black background with stars. A pair of hands folding or rolling paper in the bottom left corner.
