Using only monochromatic materials; charcoal (in all its forms), graphite, china markers and alcohol ink on the smooth, non-absorbent surface of Yupo paper makes for an exciting image. The work inhabits a space in-between drawing and painting and it's impossible to fully anticipate what will happen as the layers go on. I have found a delicious abandonment here, creating a space for the muse to step in when the human artist finally relinquishes the need to control every mark. 

 

About Yupo Paper

Yupo Watercolour Paper is a non-porous, acid-free and pH neutral, synthetic paper which is machine made in the US from 100% polypropylene. 

As an especially durable synthetic, Yupo normally enters the waste stream at a far slower rate than conventional papers. Since it is a polypropylene (PP) plastic film, it is fully recyclable and will remain inert in any approved landfill. If safely incinerated in a modern incinerator with an atmosphere of excess oxygen, it will yield only water, carbon dioxide, and ash.
