Sanctum, my first all black and white work, was double-featured on Saturday, June 20, 2009 by the All Things Black and Abstract Digital Art and Writing groups on Red Bubble.

The All Things Black gallery features images with a predominantly black subject.

ABSTRACT DIGITAL ART AND WRITING or ADAWG, as it’s popularly called, focuses on written prose and the art that illustrates it. It’s unusual in that it combines the two mediums for a unique and fascinating gallery.

Sanctum is my first feature in each of these groups. I’m grateful and deeply honored by the acknowledgement of this digital fine art piece.

Sanctum employs a black and white room made up of only 2 graphic source elements: 1) a stained glass window, and 2) a checkered floor.

The floor was brought into several separate layers, each of which was twisted and distorted. The end result of that was drapes, then placed, shadowed, and reflected on the floor to create a three-dimensional room.

Sanctum is my challenge entry into the Everyday Women group black-and-white challenge. Most of the great entries there are photos of women in everyday circumstances; and this piece doesn’t fit so well. But without the challenge, I would not have been inspired to create it. I am so thankful, I did!! it’s one of my personal favorites todate.

Once I discovered the All Things Black group, I also entered it in their Black and White challenge.
