Untitled (April 2017)

A standing nude female figure rendered in rapid, overlapping charcoal or graphite contour lines on white paper, arms extended wide in a cruciform pose; the torso is built up through multiple passes of gestural mark-making that layer motion and mass simultaneously. Behind the figure, loosely hatched rectangular tonal blocks form a cross-like geometric ground that anchors the composition and adds structural contrast to the organic line work.
