Constructing the Center Watercolors Monograph
The Constructing the Center watercolor series came about as a watercolor study I envisioned to create and make a way using my concept of Chthonic Numinosity AS Self to be expressed through Shadow & Light mirrored syzygy mandala pairs. The original paintings have approx. 12” diameter circles drawn in pencil on 140# cold press Montval watercolor block paper. The pencil lines across the paintings are drawn lightly, painted up to and around, and then erased after the painting is dry. Initially, this is like stained glass leading, the lead between pieces of stained glass. Except here, the leading is literally drawn in with a lead pencil and compass, and once a painting dries, it is erased to become negative space leading, white space structure between the colors.
