Passage Revisited, 2022
A drawing from a few years ago. I was never happy with the black & white and colour balance. So now reworked. The initial challenge was to execute two mirror image drawings. A real mind bender in the creation.
Charcoal, carbon pencil, digitally processed imagery as collage, spray paint on sanded paper.
Two panels: total approx 6 ft. h x 10 ft w
