Silverpoint drawings
Silverpoint is a traditional drawing technique used before graphite was discovered.
The finest detail can be achieved on perfectly prepared gesso ground, producing very delicate results.
The silver tarnishes slightly on the surface over time, to give more contrast than first appears.

Able, is a depiction of the Atom bomb test that took place on Bikini Atoll on 1st July 1946 by the USA.
The first test was codenamed Able - A in the US Navy's phonetic alphabet.
Part of Operation Crossroads, 167 indiginous people were relocated from Bikini Atoll to Kili Island with the understanding they could return in 2-3 months. Many were still exposed to radiation and children played in the dust from the fall out on nearby Islands, like snow. In 1998 the International Atomic Energy Agency report found that Bikini was still not safe for habitation, because of dangerous levels of radiation.
