Inkworks #1 Dancer

The creation of "Inkworks" is a testament to the magic of artistic exploration. Through a delicate process involving ink, water, and a simple container, each piece is born. Additional tools like droppers, syringes, funnels, and other small applicators allow the artist to guide the flow of ink with precision—yet always leaving space for the unpredictable dance between ink and water. A DSLR camera captures these fleeting moments, freezing the intricate interplay of colors and textures before they fade away.

Once captured, these vibrant images are printed onto canvases that are 1 inch deep, adding dimension and depth to each piece. The result is a series of colorful, flowing artworks that invite viewers to lose themselves in the abstract movement and vivid hues. Each canvas becomes more than just a piece of art—it offers an immersive experience, encouraging anyone who gazes upon it to pause, explore, and let their imagination wander through the undulating forms and colors.

The story behind Dancer, the first piece in the "Inkworks" series, is one of deep gratitude and connection. Almost named "Laura" in tribute, Dancer came to life in 2014, embodying a heartfelt acknowledgment of the support that carried the artist through a challenging decade. Laura, an art patron and cherished friend, provided more than just encouragement—she played a crucial role in the artist’s journey, offering a lifeline during times when survival and creativity seemed at odds.

Dancer stands as a testament to the importance of community and the unspoken power of support in an artist’s life. Each sharp flowing line and burst of color dances in a dark room.
