About this artwork
This multi-layered piece is a striking mix of monotypes, book papers, wax pastel, acrylic paint and graphite, giving it a structured grid-like feel that guides the viewer's eye throughout the design. The variations of blue and violet are a beautiful contrast to the creamy whites and wild graphite marks. Vintage book papers from an old foundrywork and metallurgy text, along with snippets of organic chemistry and algebraic equations, are integrated…
throughout the piece. The source of the name is buried amongst the collage elements, inviting closer inspection. As with all of the 12"x12" small works, this piece makes a bold statement as a solo act or pairs beautifully with other artworks.
