In this project, we were to explore the relationship between the foreground and background using positive and negative space.

By placing simple geographic shapes within the frame, it was easier to see how both the black shapes (positive space) and the shapes formed by the background (negative space) can manage to compliment each other.

Once the four different windows were filled, one window was chosen to help create a pattern. The window in the top right corner is the one I chose to use.

Just by looking at it, it may not be so easily seen how that image managed to create the pattern in the middle. By rotation it every so often, the images pieced together to produce the pattern seen above. Being that the image originally had a reversal-ground relationship, it , maintained that relationship and causes the viewer to not only see the black inking as positive space, but also the white space as the potential positive space.
