With a big bin of chalk that had been left out in the rain, I started blending colors and ended up with this swirling collection of lines.
The messy, clumpy nature of wet chalk is definitely a change of pace. With the consistency of paste, and spreading and blending more like paint, experimenting with this mode was intruiging.
It should rain more! Like it.
ReplyDeleteI saw one of your works in SF. When I saw your work, I was thinking about if it could stand the wash of rain. It was a pity that I only stayed few days. I was wondering how your works would look like after rain and a long time. Will them look like this one?
ReplyDeleteThe weathering process is a fascinating, alchemical aspect of this that is so much fun to watch. Left alone, the chalk sort of fades away after about 6 weeks. Rain will wash it off completely if its a large amount of rain, all at once. If it is only light rain or misty, it will smudge it and blur the colors together.
