While in High Point, NC last month I had the pleasure of catching up with Tracy Hiner, the artist behind Black Crow Studios, who told me about her latest projects.

I love Tracy's work. We often see it at CR Laine during market, and I have purchased some of her prints, and can't wait to use her wallpaper line in our design business.
Here is a sampling of the scale and impressive watercolor 'airy-ness' of her artwork. First featured is her wallcovering line...

Her latest series is titled "Caliber" and involves immersing paint in large bodies of water and photographing the completely spontaneous affect that happens. Tracy described the process as using large aquariums filled with water and literally dumping water based paint into the water for random and unpredictable affects. At first I didn't know what the objects were amidst the clouds of paint.
In this Caliber series, she has taken dismantled gun and weapon parts that she secured from police departments who have taken these weapons from arrested criminals, and rendered them unusable, never to resurface again. I love that she is making a statement about keeping these guns off the streets, and not putting them 'en totale', but using parts so that it remains an abstract quality in her work. I think this is a brilliant artistic move, and quite unique.
I can't wait to see what she creates next. You can follow Tracy, and Black Crow Studios on Instagram and Pinterest.
This inspires me to make some more art, how about you?
Beautiful and amazing! Thanks for sharing!
