"The work entitled Responsive was developed by first applying the concept of “Rule of Thirds”, which is a traditional approach to 2D artwork. However, once the making process moved forward more risks were taken and rules broken, in order to generate a form not based in tradition but rather in exploration. The form moved from being rigid to organic. An ebonizer was applied, creating a saturated surface reminiscent of the earth while freehanded texturing of the surface added to the irregularity of the finish."
