Negative Space

Negative space  is the area of space "usually white while subjects are black" that surrounds the subjects in a particular piece of art and is extremely important to art composition.  This space is commonly used to create an image relevant to the piece itself and is most evident in this technique.

Nel Linssen often utilizes negative space when making delicate and impressive necklaces from nothing but paper she utilizes a minimalistic technique and the technical skill of an art virtuoso which is evident in most if not all of her peices.
