Description
Young ballet dancers in pale tutus gather in a sparse studio for examination, their delicate figures scattered across the wooden floor in various poses of anticipation and grace. Warm ochre and gray tones dominate the composition, with natural light streaming through tall windows that illuminate the dusty studio space and cast the instructor in shadow on the left. Precision-cut from thick, satin-finish paperboard and made to order, in 500 or 1,000 pieces. An afternoon spent building an independent artist's work.
