In Moonweaver, I wanted to capture the connection between the human world and the magical layer that many people lose sight of as they grow up. Using white charcoal and graphite, I created the two major elements to this piece: the girl in white charcoal, which is always visible, and then the moon, which is in graphite. The use of graphite on black paper is one I designed in order to create a disappearing effect; due to the reflective nature of graphite, it shines when light hits it at the right angles, but otherwise fades into the black background because of its dark value. See below for more.
