Inked Growth - SkyBlue Pink collage: photo of stripes, acrylic on mylar Asian and alcohol-ink papers 20 x 20 inches 2022
The Inked Growth Series are abstract collages, each composed starting with a cropped detail (8” x 8”) of my photograph of a person wearing striped clothing. I place the square photo in the exact center of the composition, and then continue its stripes with hand drawn India ink or acrylic lines on mylar. I collage my alcohol ink papers along with Asian papers beneath the transparent mylar surface to reflect and extend the central image.
