Description

(2020), 6.5x10.5", Prismacolor pencils and white gel pen on grey paper.


A deceptively simple one this time, but to get the delicate marble like texture right and the light spiraling striations actually proved more of a challenge than I had thought. 


I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out - seems almost luminous.

Thank you! The sharp edges really intrigued me - so unusual for something that otherwise feels so organic.

That is so cool, thanks! I really was intrigued by the sharp angle in the profile of the spiral, almost geometric, and yet it's still such an organic whole.
