Modern Structure no. 1385

Description

I use contemporary Chinese brushstrokes and empty space to create a sophisticated balance in my work. With a background in architecture and a passion for lines and the graphical nature of it I continue to develop arrangements that allude to strong imagery. The materials consist of handmade paper, ink made of pine soot & watercolors. The paper has silk, cotton, wood chips & mulberry pressed into the pulp. The result is a velvety, tactile surface. The ancient process of preparing the artwork is similar to that of mounting eastern scrolls. This method of preparing works on paper dates back two thousand years and can only be done by a handful of artisans in America.
