Experimenting with Persian Farsi Script

Elements as Punctuation

Elements as Punctuation

by Debra Claffey | Mar 2, 2018 | Blog--Making Something Out of Nothing, Updates, Works-in-progress

This one is complete but as yet untitled. It’s the second in a new series with these collaged vertical and horizontal bars. The print impression of the blue star fern leaves enliven the push-pull of the spaces in a good way. I feel you can wander around in the...

Indigo Ice, dark

by Debra Claffey | Feb 3, 2018 | Blog--Making Something Out of Nothing, Updates, Works-in-progress

Again, a monotype in oil and wax on Asian paper, mounted to encaustic on a 36 x 36 inch panel, with ove-rpainting. This was a difficult one, I can almost never say why. It just feels uncomfortable, and i work on it until feels good. I liked this one finally. ←...
