They say clothes make the man...
I had a lot of fun with this one, simplifying the shapes and colors. The
complex interweaving of his fingers are expressed with a single piece of cut
out paper. One side of his face is completely in shadow and bleeds into the burgundy
of the wall behind. Much of the burgundy color is the raw wood panel, stained
with a thing layer of paint- you can see the wood grain. To the left of his
head streaks of watercolor on gray paper is collaged on. The tie is
scrapbooking paper.
I have started a wood cut version of this piece.
I got
terrifically ambitious and just started carving happily away, not understanding
how difficult the printing process would be when I got to it! Attempting to line up four separate color block is a real challenge. I feel a little
bit like a cat that got stuck in a tree! However. I have not given up on this
one. When I achieve more mastery at printing, I will try again.
