In this series, I use charcoal and pastel with silk screen. The results are crisp and fuzzy edges, dense areas where the charcoal has built up, and soft whispers. There is crackle texture which is the result of paper paste. Drips, dust and smudges are all part of the unpredictability of nature and this work.
