Jean Aubé
Jean Aubé created “Falling” as a personal response to lingering discussions with a
friend about the emotional impact of the 9/11 disaster. He used many different
techniques throughout, including Image Trace, scatter brush (to distribute the
stars), gradients, and many instances of reducing opacity and changing blending
modes. The hard edges of the man and roses falling from above keep these
narrative elements in full focus, while the soft layers of clouds create a rich depth of
field. To create these clouds Aubé first used Image Trace on scans of his pastel-
drawn clouds. He then placed and offset layer upon layer of clouds, adjusting
opacity and blending modes, and finally overlaying a gradient (purple to white) set
to multiply mode.
