Fragment Original Artwork

The artwork measures 13 x 18.5 inches.

Details:

Fragment combines a graphite drawing with handcut pattern to create a powerful artwork that pays homage to the artist's hand. Beginning with the drawing, days were devoted to rendering the portrait of the young woman. Next came the cutting. Varying patterns were cut into the drawing using a precision knife and completed entirely by hand. It too represents weeks of carefully executed work. The result is a portrait that both obscures and heightens the figure beneath.

Materials:

Rice paper, graphite, charcoal. All materials used in this artwork are archival.
