Black and White Paintings

Here is the full series of the black and white paintings so far. They explore what is hidden and what is unsaid; what is covered, and what is revealed. Rather than swirling lines these explore the use of characters in a language of mark making that I explore. The black and white characters are layered over each other with varying opacity to create a visual effect where the viewer can feel as if it is possible to step into the text.

This painting was the first ever of its kind and gave birth to the exploration of emotion without the extra information that color provides
