Example Concentration Statements

My initial concentration idea was to magnify ordinary objects in a what that made them more fascinating
to observe. I hoped to capture interesting aspects in the subjects closely, without losing their shapes/
details.
For my concentration I chose to explore qualities of drapery in works of art. I am intrigued by the fact
that fabric has a form of its own but can also take on the forms of objects that it covers.
