pens and needles
An extraordinary collabo by Danny Mansmith and Shawna Handke.
Danny Mansmith and I wanted to create a collaboration, and this dream resulted in a show in the Big Apple. Once I had the opportunity to show my artwork at the Fountainhead Gallery, I invited Danny to be a part of the event. As you can see, we created six original collaborations for the show. I had some scrap canvas tucked away that had been waiting for the perfect project, so I dug out the unprimed canvas and began creating drawings and sketches. Once I completed several drawings simply using pen and ink, I shipped the canvas to Danny and said, “do what you want with it…” The results are what you see. We had not met in person prior to the show, and we were communicating solely through mail. So when we finally arrived in the city and met one another in real life, it all seemed rather surreal.
