Copyright © 2020 The Dark Sire Magazine, Issue 2 (Winter 2019) Published by BSC Publishing Group Distributed from the United States Cover art by Doria Walsh Copyright © 2018 Doria Walsh is a self-taught artist living in Harrisburg, PA. Formerly a realistic pastel painter, Doria found making abstracts with fluid mediums made her feel peaceful and present. She experiments with chemistry and its effects on her inks and paints as if in a laboratory. Because fluid mediums can be chaotic and unpredictable , there is no way to anticipate what will occur. It becomes a deeply internal process because the artist must surrender to physics – to an extent. The piece presented here is India ink on 9”x12” paper and is called “Rorschach.”
