Selected Emotions
Closeup 1: Sensual
Created by laying dollops of black and white ink, mixed with finishing varnish and acrylic gloss, and manually swirling and spread by hand.
Closeup 2: Anxious
Created by mixing black and white ink into an uneven light gray which was spread, then gone over again with varnish and gloss. Semi-dried white ink blotches were pressed across the gray, which was then gone over again with a lighter gray mix to create a mix of bright and obvious layers among almost ‘hidden’ layers.
Closeup 3: Turbulent
Black, white and gray ink spread together with bunched, cut paper strips over a scratched up and slightly cut surface.
