Drips, Drops and Water Spots

The panels hanging on the studio walls might look aged, but in reality they are part of a new series of work. The marks are man-made and the water spot splatters, in truth, aren't even water. Damian Stamer, MFA candidate at Carolina, experiments with various tools. "Paper towels, squeegees, different brushes all have different effects." And the splatters? They're made with oil paint.
