Description

A curvy red line runs through blue, swirling around and moving from left to the bottom right hand of the canvas. The red line which divides the blue central image is think and runs horizontally, the line which zigzags and curves down the page guides the viewer to follow the line, as well as draws attention to the middle blue shape. By using the line to divide the image, it creates an empty space which balances the movement of the line and breaks up the monochromatic background.
