(Spring Studio #2) Incorporating my pattern design on to the background takes time. The interlocking lines and shapes require more time and takes about a week to complete, I think of my painted pattern as language and respond intuitively to each abstract shape similar to that of a word. The canvas is 96”x76” so a ladder is required. #marlonforrester #afromodern #postblack #hoopdreams #paintingprocess (at 𝘽𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙣, 𝙈𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙨) https://www.instagram.com/p/COYNl3aHg2d/?igshid=17ud0nomrqxwi
