Most of my work is like this, filled from edge to edge with stuff. I am going to resume Fractured Zone A with similar images.

I was not paying attention, and it has been over a week since my last post. I will skip the usual excuses.

I made this sometime ago, before the Fractured Zone A series. There is a vague similarity with the FZA series, it was one of the experiments that led to that set.

Even though it was not a good fit, and I was not pleased with the overall composition, there was something I liked near the center. Notice the straight-line cuts, and the shadowing that suggests broken pieces. I set it aside to revisit later and then headed in a different direction.

This image is also an early experiment that eventually led to the Fractured Zone A series. This one is missing the jagged fault line that characterized that series. I was trying to create a contrast between the upper right and lower left. But that composition failed.

I set it aside because I liked the upper right, straight lines dividing rough surfaces. With light and shadow highlighting the surfaces.

This one is a similar story. The main diagonal was not a good idea. I like the floating shapes going generally lower left to upper right. So I set is aside.

You probably see where this is heading. The center area of this piece also has that fractured texture look. I started planning a future Fractured Zone B series.
