Notify me when back in stock

A marble mine in Carrara Italy offers a treasure trove of rock facets - perfect for delicate ink lines to follow and watercolor marks to contrast with in the natural, un-cut areas of this mountain.

The MOUNTAINS Collection, and this piece, is an exploration of brush + line, using the metaphorical form of MOUNTAIN to see how the marks of paintbrush and pen or pencil, with their contrasting textures, can work together to model the tactile surfaces of land.Pure black and white ink line and paint bring out the contrast of the natural and cut facets of this mountain. I think it mimics the visual texture of marble at a glance - do you think?
