String of Pearls

String of Pearls (Overall shot): A large print in a horizontal orientation on a thin cotton rag paper. The design is geometric with a central element perpetuating a divide between the composition. The central element might be suggestive of a labia, by pertaining an ovular v-shape focal point being topped with a circular motif. On the left and right of the print linear lines, circular motifs, checkered patterns, and cross hatching elements balance and reflect off the central composition.
