Monotype (Strata)
A return to bold blacks and concentric rings with a reduced palette of translucent inks. Forms are pushed until they resemble geological strata. Each pair is torn from a single sheet of washi and pulled from the same bath in sequence, forming diptychs.

After the wide experimentation of Wandering, I wanted to narrow focus and concentrate on fewer colors and how they interact with blacks and negative space. I spent less time directing the composition and more just following the flow and natural patterning that emerged with movement.
