The Spanish Bowline, 2023Fadeproof ink on archival paper13” x 17” x 1.4”___
Visual Description
A meticulously rendered, black ink drawing on white paper of a length of rope, twisted into a double-looped knot called a “Spanish bowline”. In the drawing, the length of rope descends from the center of the paper, forming two twisted loops that hang to the left and right of center. The texture of the rope, and the twists of the knot, are rendered in fine ink lines.
