At the end of last year we moved into a new-to-us home that included a wood paneled living room. While painting the wood could have instantly updated the space, I liked the idea of working with this original, traditional detail. As I layered on more modern accents, art seemed like a good place to get an abstract look, especially on a budget. Inspired by the look of Rorschach’s pieces, I wanted to try and achieve something similar.
