Ink on a Coffee Stirrer: Female figures in ink and charcoal

Using either charcoal or a wooden coffee stirrer dipped in Japanese sumi ink, the line drawings that form the basis of these pieces are executed quickly yet meditatively. Creating them is as much about being poised in the moment as it is controlling the ink or charcoal on the page. Color is added later using chalk pastels.

This series is about the lines between self and other, action and inaction, and body, mind, and spirit.
