Light Drawing III is a work on paper consisting of drawn lines on a piece of paper to which is also attached bronze sculptural lines, the graphite and echo of the bronze as if cast as a shadow. This work is representative of the artist’s work with light and metals. More characteristically she has worked with copper and its interaction with light. In the case of this work on paper, she has integrated a sculptural form (the bronze) into a drawing.
