Andrew / Fox & Hedgehog

Here is the mixed-media panel that I just finished working on...I thought about using more repetition even though I took the focus off of making the forms on the outer edge fit together perfectly and focused more on creating transparency between layers...I also considered slightly altering the form of the bottom part of the large paper with the hedgehog image.  The vessel which the hedgehog sits on has a whimsical almost mysterious appearance due to the embellishments i added to adjoining mediums and original overall structure I had created with the lines.  I also added much texture to the black and white images around the edge to make them feel more influenced by elements experienced outdoors or 'in clouds'.  I welcome any and all thoughts and criticisms about the work.

The cloud / elemental component is very compelling. It also seems to reference a board game of your own design. Perhaps some of the earlier objects you made this semester are the playing pieces?

I think this definitely needs to be seen in reality. It looks very intriguing so far, but I'm missing seeing the texture and detail which, as you say, Andrew, will give an impression of the elements outdoors. And I think the whimsical mood will be conveyed by the details too. I like the composition. Looking forward to seeing it.
