#6 blue cross

I wanted to work with graph paper and started a few pieces using it.  Blue Cross was the first piece I actually finished.  I covered the graph paper with this self-adhesive transparent blue photographic film and instantly the piece became about blue and orange which are explored in various ways.  The simplicity of the cross contrasts dramatically with the complexity of what surrounds it.
