Bush's Complements #1: Video was the source of the idea of "complementary space" I believe, or else it confirmed a lesson I learned from teaching drawing and design to beginners. Figure/ground or positive/negative are arbitrary in the electronic media, but the words insinuate things to a person. Silverpoint and hard graphite are so slow, an artist has plenty of time to meditate on this.
