Slippery Geometry, Series D–I
opalescent fountain pen ink on paper, 22x30
2021

For this series, I turned again to Birmingham Pen Co. I set out to work with this metallic-paynes-gray. I thought it would be interesting to have the higher contrast between paper and ink, but ironically where the ink was densest, the metallic elements gathered more making it reflective instead of black-ish. Given how quickly this color accumulates, I had to go for a more spacious, composition, but in that wanted to take the opportunity to let the ink really spread in pools of water.
