Feet in Motion

As an aerialist, one of the most important things is your feet! How they point, flex, grip and hold tell the difference between a beginner and a professional. I decided to make a piece about this using the motion of my feet in the fabric piece. I covered my feet in red paint (to symbolize the red fabric) and while watching the piece, I copied the movement onto paper.

I really liked how this turned out, particularly the fact that it almost looks like blood. It's like a metaphor for the pain that aerialists go through, particularly burns and cuts to their feet.
