new work - (personal note: I’m trying to better understand how materials, process, and tools effect outcomes - it’s a study of technique I’ve been exploring on paper - trying to find a way to make an image in my own voice…)

New work on drafting film with a bit of color.
My goal is trying to find my own way somehow with this - maybe it expand with materials and process exploration. I want to move this more towards the shimmer series work. Admittedly, I am seeing references to some art I greatly admire. I need to keep exploring to find more independence from those influences.
