Lines in Space

I did this image about 12 years ago. Its a frame from an animation. The head of Nefertiti is represented as solid and line forms. Lines are in 3d space and they reflect light from the lighting model. Copies have been made of the same data. They are all the same size.

My interest was in mixing the qualities of drawing and painting. Playing with light on the lines I introduced things which look like eyes and nose from Nefertiti’s headdress. I had to find a way to soften the harsh surface qualities of the solid representation. Also to emphasize a visual field. It also looks like I used some atmosphere. This idea works best as animation. Watching those forms move through space is intriguing.
