Re-visiting a Ghost
March 11, 2020
Back in 2017, I made this monoprint:
And there was enough paint on the plate to pull a ghost:
I stumbled upon that ghost last week and decided that it needed a little makeover.
I feel conflicted. On the one hand, the further along I get in my art-making, the more interested I am in making things that are quirky or odd -- images that force you to take a second look. On the other hand, I also find myself interested in creating simpler and more graphic images. I love some of the detail photos of this re-imagined piece, but I'm thinking that overall it's a bit too busy -- there's no where for the eye to rest. Originally, I had only re-done half the image and that might have where I should have stopped? I don't know. I'm clearly going to have to keep experimenting and playing around!
Thanks for stopping by!
