A black and white abstract print with a lot of texture and subtle details. The artwork is printed on white paper, with the image filling most of the page.

This is way too subtle and I love it. Something secret just for me. Do you have something you made that is just for you?

@basile oh thank you 🥰 I think the process with these monoprints is to fully lean into the creation through deletion idea. I’m starting in the black instead of a white page and carving out an image from the darkness. I seem to respond more intuitively to this way of working, actually most of the work I am most proud of only took shape when I started to destroy or change what I have created. I think it’s only when I let go of the fear of ruining something that I can truly make something beautiful. A good analogy for life generally I feel. Fear of change often stops us creating our best life. Hope that answered the question.😄

@sqnutkin that’s kind of you to say ❤️ thank you! It’s such a quiet piece, not necessarily what I intended, but poetic in a tender way so maybe sensitive souls pick up on the message.
