Stratas

Sometimes I just need to let loose, these are pretty much just pigments based works, just having fun pushing around the washes and seeing what comes to the surface, the old piano scroll really ads a strange element with the morse code like holes all through the piece, I think I might see what else will come of this, as there is nothing quite like a scroll!

  1. Hej Scott,

    To me they look like parts of a map. Like looking into a canyon or a fjord and seeing all the different layers of mother earth.

    Thanks for making these interesting pieces.

    Have a lovely day.
