Carrie, Ross, and Johanna in yukata (summer kimono). Here I was playing with black and white ink over intense colors. The colors were pigment dispersions in water – the robe and body colors were brushed onto the paper register with the eventual drawing, then protected with a cut-out mylar mask while the background colors were spritzed in numerous layers. Then the black ink lines were drawn according to program using my large machine and these were overdrawn by white ink lines in order to simulate true color.
