sketchy selections 9: ink blossom

circa 2004

ink blossom came about when my lovely printer decided to
deposit a random splotch of ink on this hawaiian flower photo
not to be outdone by a printer with an attitude problem,
i grabbed my pen & ink and embellished the splotch until
it blossomed out into this sketchy linear layer that seemed to
accentuate/activate the power of this dying tropical flower.


in other news...today i braved the crazy virginian highways
to scope out the Ellipse Arts Center for an installation proposal
i'm cooking up...it's a nice space w/ much potential.
