Artistry

I have been pretty obsessed over the past year with the artistry of ballet. Everything about it... the fluidity of movement, the shapes in both positive and negative space the dancers create, the mood it conveys so effectively without words – without music even, the tension and ease and color and form. One of my New Year's Resolutions for 2010 is to achieve – or at the very least strive to achieve these principles in my design.
