Sanded Charcoal on Mounted Paper
23” x 34”
“My technique is relatively unknown, I use sandpaper as a medium to embed dry material (charcoal and occasionally pastel) into heavy paper. Using this technique, I am able to “see” in the dark; I use a myriad of photographic references which allows me to lighten up the dark areas and balance them out with the lighter ones without washing out the details. Use of this technique takes the work to a “hyper-real” level and lends itself well to the pervasive feeling of melancholy that exists. My intent is to confront the viewer and ask questions.”
