Iterations
Drawing is a daily practice. It is a form of meditation. I begin my day in the studio by closing my eyes, centering myself, dipping brush into ink and attempting to express my inner state in a single stroke.
I experimented with different types of paper. By chance, I tried some sheets of acetate. The ink coalesced in interesting ways on the slick surface. Seeing the acetate pieces hanging on my studio wall, I realized the cast shadows were an integral part of the piece.
I took my ink drawings and used them to create individual screen prints. I then printed these images repetitively on acetate scrolls, revealing intricate patterns of ink. The resulting shadows became yet another iteration of the work.
