There’s something very haunting for me in… just creating a couple of borders where the ink —just like watercolor— would be able to run off to; and then playing within that frame… relinquishing control of the medium, and equally just letting my own mind wander. It was really interesting because really quickly I found myself drawn to the notion of patina, and the uneven wear and tear of natural elements.
