  Tattoos Digital Illustration Quote: " Ultimately, tattoos make unique the surface of one's self, embody one's secret dreams, adorn with magic emblems the Altamira of the flesh."  ( Diane Ackerman,   A Natural History of the Senses,  pg. 100).

Art 21 Assignment:  Adam Milner https://art21.org/watch/new-york-close-up/adam-milner-takes-care-of-the-details/ Two words to describe the artist’s work: Display and Organization  https://calendar.syracuse.edu/events/2019-oct-31/adam-milner/ https://news.artnet.com/art-world/adam-milner-art21-1989424 Elements/Principles of Design: Proportion: the sculpture uses the relationship between objects and creates a whole piece with the varying parts to create a whole. Irregular Rhythm: the various elements of the sculpture makes the viewers’ eye bounce from each imbedded item and becomes more intriguing from pebble to pebble, however, there isn’t a strict consistency, therefore, it is best suited with irregular rhythm.
