Title: “The Stage of Value”
Materials: Inking brush pens (black, dark gray, and light gray) and book pages from Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
For this project the artist chose to articulate value, which is the lightness and darkness of a color. Using inking brush pens to block out specific words, Jiao chose the word “stage” to incorporate the fact that Macbeth is a famous play itself. Using the skill of placement, the page shows value from the darkest blacks to no color at all.
