Carpet Drawing

Luxury Red-bull 2013 


Working on the idea of negative and positive, I  compared contemporary luxury with ancient living. I still wonder which would be the positive and which the negative.
The image is a copy of one of the Lascaux cave paintings, it is drawn into the  pile of the carpet using a palette knife. 
The initial photographic image was boringly beige.  Using only levels to create the colour in photoshop  gave the resultant image, which is coincidentally  similar in colours to the original cave painting.
