Abstract by Karen Chrisco

My abstract artwork are the most detailed of any pieces I have done.
All black and white media; I used black and white marker, black and white paint, black and white shoe polish, black and white nail polish, liquid white out, pepper mixed with flour and water, baking soda and baking powder mixed with a little water and blotted pieces of white paper towel for texture and when it dried, I painted over it with black indigo ink. I allowed white out to run its own course over the top of that. I used white and black puff paint mixed together to give it a different shade of white and just followed the lines over and over again. I then began to sew on it. I loved the look, so I sewed on it everywhere that I could. I used white and black thread and sewed following the lines that I made with the other media. The paper started to rip, so I taped the back of the it and sewed some more.
In the case of Tedious, Prismacolor pencil was used as the media. She wanted to use the pixel but just not any ordinary pixel, a triangle and of different sizes.
A Walk in the Park is the same way with pixels, only I chose ovals and hexagons.
I added New Media Art last minute it is the only graphic that I did on my own and doesn't have any work attached to it.
