Reversal

I collect old framed artworks from charity shops. They're usually just bad watercolours or prints that have been hanging up in peoples houses. I'm more interested in what the reverse of the artworks or frames look like. I use the stains and markings as starting points for my drawings. Titles are adopted from the original artworks.
