Skep & Comb

‘Skep & Comb’ - R Williamson, paint, collage, and aquarelle pencil on paper, 21” x 28”’ tall; 3/23

A new work on paper that incorporates jewel-toned colors on rice paper.

Skep is the name for the woven rope or wicker hives that we remember from books of nursery rhymes. Kind of an inverted basket, in use for several millennia. Many simple and beautiful variations.
