Vibrant Movement

Sarah Henwood

ARTIST STATEMENT

This piece is a part of my concentration which is the exploration of human anatomy through dance and motion. Each piece attempts to capture the intricacies of human anatomy through the complex positions that dancers perform. My concentration developed over time, at first wanting to do drawing from observation, but not finding poses and figures that seemed challenging enough. By expanding my concentration to dance, I found much more content that was visually interesting. Many of my pieces so far have attempted to capture a certain way that the human body movies or a piece of the human anatomy that I am not completely comfortable with to challenge myself to start fresh and figure out how exactly I want to tackle each piece. This piece in particular is vastly different from other pieces in my concentration, most notably in its vibrant color palette. In this piece I experimented with brighter colors that correlate well to a more lively and bright form of dance.
