A monochromatic drawing of an ambiguous subject. The work is abstract but the forms appear biomorphic. The edges are softly rendered.

Label copy

In Twindle, Deborah Zlotsky uses powdered graphite on a luminous Mylar surface. She suggests the human body through controlled shifts in tone, natural curves, and soft edges that disappear into the sheet, creating restrained, nearly discernible forms that play with our perception. Zlotsky explains: “I connect visual fragments, accumulating and connecting parts that don’t necessarily go together.”
