Original artwork description:

Curl Up — silverpoint drawing on Arches Hot Press (HP) paper, 300 g/m2 on with acrylic primer.

What emotion does such a curled leaf evoke? I named it "Curl Up" – the act of curling up or twisting. In English, this phrase also means to experience shock. I am confident that everyone periodically feels like a curled leaf.

Silverpoint drawing reminds me of the old masters like Leonardo Da Vinci, who utilized silver on a prepared surface for his artwork. When you look at the work from an angle, it shines like a noble metal. Over time, the silver drawing will oxidize and change color, as if growing up along with its owner.

Materials used:

100% cotton archival paper, 300 gsm; silver stylus; acrylic primer
