What's On My Wall - September 8, 2013

I have spent the last few days making these India Ink grid-like things. I dip cardboard or foam-core into India Ink and then press the edges onto softish paper. The drips occur as I move back and forth between the ink well and the paper. They could almost be considered mono-prints, created one segment at a time. I love the effect - structured yet ghost-like, an x-ray or rubbing of some architectural structure.

Those two small aqua pieces on the table are the kernels of ideas not yet executed. The little watercolor  happened as I was testing a new color recently added to my palette. As the paint dried these shapes appeared.
