Empty Staircase

Completed January 2023

This piece reflects on how interior plans affect the mood and space within an environment. The staircase creates movement within the house, as it spirals through each level of the house.

This piece is a still life, drawn from the living area of my friend. The toughest component to consider while drawing this piece, was light and shadow. The drawing process took a long period of time, and as such the natural lighting within the room changed over time as well. I had to change the real lighting within the room, to match where the light source originated at the start of the piece, in order to ensure that the piece would be cohesive and realistic in nature.
