Slate & Ochre Crescent Mosaic

Description

• Visual Dispersion (Mottled): The individual crescent forms exhibit “Internal Textural Mottling.” The pigment is dispersed in soft, uneven washes that suggest a “dry-on-wet” watercolor technique, giving each flat plane a unique, stony grain.

• Pigment Dispersion (Gradated Overlap): The design features “Transparent Tonal Overlapping.” Where the crescent shapes intersect, the pigment dispersion is doubled, creating darker “shadow” zones that provide a sense of physical transparency and light.

• Edge Dispersion (Crisp-to-Fibrillated): The boundaries of the main forms feature “Crisp Structural Dispersion” to maintain the geometric integrity of the mosaic. This is contrasted by “Internal Fibrillation,” where the pigment bleeds slightly into the paper tooth at the centers of the washes.
