Sisters of the Sky
Originally working with a photo of two sisters, one was wearing black and the other white, the intent was to make them into a yin yang ... which I might still do, but as one had golden hair and the other dark dressed in silver, it reminded me so much of night and day that I played off that instead. Their arms were not clasped behind the sun’s leg in the original photo but I did that in a sense of unity between the two like a relationship of sharing the sky. I felt that it also tied in well with the zodiac series with the sun sign and the moon sign. The media is mixed, as you can tell that the sky in the background is digital, but the majority of the image is done in watercolor and ink. It was mostly an experiment in mixing medias, and I feel like it still captured the intent of the work, finished in 2007.
If you like Sisters of the Sky, you may like some of the other images in the Celestial Series.
