It's Elemental, my dear Watson

Over the last few months,  I have completed a new series of mixed media originals. Called Elemental, this collection brings me back to the basics: starkly simple, spare, fundamental.

Texture: rough and distressed. What lies underneath.

Color: pale blues, greys, and whites. Sky and sea.

Shape: lines, circles, and crosses. My favorites.

Image: photographic elements. Abstract fields.

Detail: metal and rubber. Found and unfound.

Each piece of the series is one-of-a-kind and has been created on cold press watercolor paper, handmade in Montreal at the Papeterie Saint Armand. The background is highly textured and layered with hand-mixed, acrylic paint and every color field in the series is a unique shade. Making use of the horizon line as an anchor, the artwork also includes original photographic images as well as metal and/or rubber elements. Each piece measures approximately It 10" x 7 1/2".
