About

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.

Really excited about committing some effort onto canvas!
The texture is a nice change from paper - although working on a stretched canvas with graphite has some drawbacks - particularly the amount of pressure you can apply to draw with - it’s just not the same as working on the wall - but I like the effect.
(below) Work continues with the figure/ground drawings on paper…
