abstract in process

currently working on this piece:

step 3 (7/27/10)
gumball...?

step 2 (6/20/10)

step 1

sistersistersis


sistersistersis
(approx) 4' x 5'
acrylic, charcoal, pastel, pen

dolls


(untitled)
ballpoint pen, pastels, acrylic, watercolor
aprox 4' x 3'

This came directly out of the sisters concept. I was playing with the idea of dolls (maybe voodoo dolls, maybe mummies) and wanted to see how far I could push the forms of the other sisters painting I did a while ago. It looks a little unfinished, but I've come to really like the strange ambiguity of it, the kind of unsettling black and patchy flat sand color...

collage silhouettes

empty stomach
coffee, ink, magazine, pastel
8" x 5"


diver
ink, coffee, newspaper
8" x 5"

They're kinda just experiments.
