Contrasting Shapes on the Pier
For reasons unknown, the Red Hook Pier is adorned with smooth concrete spheres, creating a striking contrast to the angular antique cranes that once served the shipping industry. As I sat down to draw, I was captivated by the tension between the harsh, industrial lines of the crane and the soft, rounded forms of the spheres.

Juxtaposing Form and Function
This piece explores the visual contrast between the functional, rigid structure of the crane and the gentle curves of the spheres. The vertical composition emphasizes the crane’s towering height, while the spheres at its base add an unexpected softness to the scene, creating a balance between industry and design.

A Bold Piece for Your Collection
This drawing offers a unique blend of industrial strength and soft, organic shapes. The contrast between the crane and the spheres makes it an eye-catching addition to any room, adding both height and visual interest to your space.
