A single mortar and pestle rests on a quiet counter, rendered in black ink and soft grey wash. Loose gestural brushstrokes keep the form spare and honest, while gentle tonal washes settle the scene into stillness. The composition reaches every edge of the paper, giving the humble kitchen object a calm, meditative presence. A restrained piece for anyone drawn to minimal, contemplative work.
