2020, Ink on handmade gesso on watercolour paper (400gsm). 110x110x5cm. Float mounted with a shadow gap black stained wooden frame.

An original ink painting on handmade gesso applied in a masked circle in the centre of the paper. The ink is diluted in a variety of concentrates and applied by passing the brush over the surface repeatedly. Building up a depth and texture in the colour of the marks. Over the duration of the painting, the ink sours/goes off and the carbon drops out of solution. Providing a deep black to the final layers.
