Twins

Item details

Charcoal on paper drawing titled ““Twins”” at by Amy Kaufman, part of the permanent art collection at Rosewood Sand Hill. Amy uses a repetition of pattern and gesture to encourage the viewer to contemplate the subtle details that define her work. Minimalist in her approach, Amy presents abstracted natural forms in bold charcoal drawings. Graceful gestures of the hand are captured on paper through subtle marking in pastel. In all of Amy’s work, careful attention is paid to scale and proportion inviting the image to extend far beyond the edges of the paper.
