Negative Space



I am a fan of negative space. Above is an example of figurative negative space.








On the left is, perhaps, the most familiar example of literal negative space: do you see a vase or two opposing faces?





Sometimes, in sculpture, negative spaces defines
what the object is about, such as this cross.


In in the English language, we create a negative space between paragraphs, to suggest a change. And that is what the spaces in my blog are meant to suggest. Not blank holes, not inattention to detail, but a change, of topic, of pace, of thought.
