Counsel Langley's photostream

ACRYLIC, INK & IMMODEST AMOUNTS OF GLITTER

Langley's work is a hybrid of two opposing approaches. One, loose painting techniques such as dripping, pours, splatters, which she uses to create effective representations of natural elements—weather, water, clouds, smoke, etc. The other approach, using pen and ink with architects' tools, templates and compasses, she fastidiously draws controlled lines, concentric circles, grids and repetitive dots; using these to reflect structures and infrastructures that we build.
