This is the 16th drawing in the Red Book. I started this page with some loose “blackout poetry” that provided the main phrase that I later added with some vintage white Letraset.
I found a thick roll of heavy striped wrapping paper at the thrift store and I love the high-contrast punch it adds. I tend to work between blends of colour and texture up against bits of higher contrast. I like to use black in my drawings especially but mostly try to balance it or ground it within other structures like grids.
So far the drawings in the Red Book are following patterns from my last Openwork series. But because I am reacting to the content and material of the existing book pages, there are adaptations and new pathways to explore.
