Charcoal, 11 x 14
This woman does not exist. She emerged from the tip of my charcoal in a process I don’t quite understand yet. Her appearance makes me think there’s definitely some story to her – after all half her face is shrouded in shadow. Is she wary, suspicious of something? Perhaps angry or determined?
She did not exist before and now she does. What shall we name her? Alexandra seems regal enough for her…or perhaps Allegra or Chloe or Marisa?
One dear friend suggested the name ‘Whisper.’ That definitely suggests a mysterious background …what fun to imagine a life story for her.
