Morning Shadows - Vanessa Edwards

Inspiration for textile print: I took this photo in the early morning light, I feel that is captures the smokiness of shadows, they leave no trace and they change quickly with the angle of the light.  I was inspired by the combination of texture with tone and pattern.  The rendered wall has a rough sandy texture that absorbs the organic shape of the shadow and captures the light beautifully.  I feel that these images could be incorporated into large scape placement print.
