Ink & Bleach studies

These pieces were made this summer, prompted by a stay beside the 'dried-out', sandy bed of the Loire. The chance factors involved in working with black ink and bleach provided some unexpected results. Each piece is on a book page treated with white emulsion. The inclusion of an isolated building provides a 'still point', as well as a narrative element.
