GRAPHITE SERIES

IN THIS SERIES, LAYERS OF DULL DARK PAINT (MOSTLY BLACK AND SHADES OF GREY, ALSO DARK EARTHY COLOURS) IN A THICK AND RELIEF-LIKE IMPASTO APPLICATION ARE OVERWORKED WITH GRAPHITE LINES AND WEAVES. WE ALSO FIND FROTTAGE TEXTURES FROM OLD SARI STAMPS AND KENZANS.

THE RESULTS SUGGEST STONE-LIKE OR METAL-LIKE RELIEF SURFACES REVEALING ORNAMENTS, IMAGES OR CRYPTIC MESSAGES...

DEPENDING ON DIFFERENT LIGHTINGS, THE REFLECTIONS ON THE SURFACES CHANGE
