A Chair and a Shadow – Limited edition of 1 Drawing

Oak gall ink on Cotton Organdie. My interest in internal and external spaces has led me to draw the Showroom collection in the first place. This particular image does present a clear image of a chair but then the shadow is white... By using loose free-hand tiny brush strokes I trace the image but never really capture it as if it was a story imagined in one’s mind... It is a similar experience after one finishes reading a book: an image is created in one’s mind but it is never completely realistic and appears uncertain or even scattered, erased or quietly disorderly... The use of monochrome ink confirms the scene is only a fragment in time, but knowing that I use my own homemade Oak-gall ink brings some warmth and care to that almost transparent and almost untangible image set on the light and airy cotton.
