Images of the designs, details and latest stage of two seaweed studies i’m currently working on.
Happy to see how this pair have been growing out of the canvas. Recent conversations and visits to see exhibitions have greatly influenced my practice.
The marbled, inky backgrounds to these pieces were quite dulled. I began blocking sections in with white to disguise and enhance some of the stains. Ink I chose to keep, I further enhanced by painting into with stronger tones. The process has become really rhythmic and improvised as I also try to maintain a sense of balance and calm within the chaos.. I’m enjoying how some of the splattered and inky shapes mimic familiar things.
