Mountain

Made by Toya Rosuello

This is a remake of Agnes Martin's Mountain. I varied the space between the lines to enhance the feeling of perspective and I switched the white and black to put a more modern spin on it. I wanted it to look like a mountain reflected in a lake.

Intention

I made a digital homage to Agnes Martin's work Moutain.

Work

I chose Mountain because I initially had a very strong negative reaction to it. I wondered how it could be considered art. I challenged myself to make something like Mountain to see if it really was so easy to make something like this.

Approach

I took advantage of the copy-paste and selection tools to get uniform lines and reflect the "mountain" into a "lake". I also inverted the colors to make the piece feel more modern.

Product

I used Paint Tool Sai and a Wacom tablet to create this piece.

Reflection

I think I captured the minimalist feel of Martin's works while putting my own spin on it. If I were to redo I might do an animation or code some sort of game.
