I made this painting using a 60 cent eraser from the dollar store as my primary medium. Building on an earlier piece where I layered acrylic paint on chalk pastels, I took the process a step further, creating a gradient with pastels, then using an angled eraser I periodically sharpened to carve into it. Following my hands slowly through the powdered chalk, a geometric pattern of circular expansion emerged. I sealed the chalk, then went into the erased cracks with acrylic paint to form orange and yellow gradients.
