Vision 1 Original Artwork

The artwork measures 9 x 13 inches.

Details:

Vision 1 combines a graphite drawing with a handcut layer of paper to create a powerful artwork that pays homage to the artist's hand. Beginning with the drawing, weeks were devoted to rendering the portrait of the young woman. Next came the cut out, a layer richly adorned in patterns that were cut 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.

This artwork comes unframed. Using archival adhesive, the papercut layer and the portrait are glued together at the base of the cut out.

Materials:

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