Ink on paper,
8.75 x 6.25
This inked piece on paper is inspired by my favorite move of all time, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. This piece was originally carved onto a clay block, which I then stamped with dual tone ink onto a piece of thick, parchment paper. The image is inspired by the scene in which the film’s protagonist, Belle, discovers the fearsome Beast’s alluring and mysterious rose, and she reaches out to grasp it. When I first watched this scene, I was held in suspense and wanted to attempt to recreate this moment in an inked piece.
