in the BLACK

July 2, 2018 By Debra Disman

Black and White? (I)

Working in whites and tones of white and white on white…I wanted to see what all BLACK would render.

Here we go…

Black Hang Out, 2017
Book board, canvas, hemp cord, watercolor paper, acrylic paint

Maximum Security, 2018
Book board, canvas, hemp cord, watercolor paper, ink, acrylic paint, wood

In the Thicket of It, 2018
Book board, canvas, hemp cord, watercolor paper, acrylic paint, wood

Night time. Mystery. Enticing. Forbidding. Absolute. Lost. Found. Again.

Continuing.
