The ink is scraped away to reveal the white clay layer. Lines and textures are achieved by different instruments and techniques. This piece has had colored inks added to the white clay layer, after the initial scraping was complete.
The original artwork has been sold, however giclee reproductions are available. Contact the artist for inquiries.
