A matched set of Sgraffito "paintings" on solid brass and aluminum plates under plexiglas.
The hand engraved textures catch light as it moves through a room for an ever-changing effect.
For this "painting", I jumped outside multiple comfort zones. For a palette; light. For a canvas; aluminum and brass substrates, sans application of paint or digital imaging, that had a voice of their own. For brushes; steel wool and sandpaper, under finger or wrapped around a pencil making their unique mark. The finished "statement" then encased under Plexiglas in a light absorbing, black shadowbox and signed in metallic pen.
