Footprint

This was a piece of paper left behind from some student here at Skidmore. It was lying on the floor and after looking at it for 2 weeks I decided to use it. I have simple, decorative nature motifs inside the shoe prints. I have an ink drawing of a skeleton foot stepping down into the page. I have then torn up copies of maps, traffic jams, dumps, smog, cities, and deforestation. I am now contemplating how to fill the spaces. I am thinking botanical pen and ink work, almost like a notebook documenting what is lost.

i really like the concept. i think some fineline botanical drawing would be a good contrast to what you have there, it would add an element of softness
