Dialogues on Paper
This series of monotypes is inspired by drawings that I did of an old ceiling vent that had been flattened and run over by many cars. Initial black and white drawings led me to a motif. It spoke to me. It had a personality. It became more organic. Sometimes the shape seemed like a lily pad, sometimes a uterus, other times a family of bean people. Multiples communicated with each other. Sometimes in a loving way, other times, angry, sad, wistful. I had fun working with these characters!
