Tribal Roots Theme







Making backgrounds is one of my favorite art activities. I like leaving the world behind and submerging my consciousness in paints, inks, stamps, glazes, pens, ...and following whatever idea comes to me. Sometimes I think of them as textiles, as if I were designing fabric. So for this latest swap, I created earthy, natural patterns on brown paper, filled with metallic frosts and covered with a deep, reflective glaze. Then I cut female silhouettes out of black paper, adhered, and embellished.
