#ineffableemotions
Detail of work in progress. Thinking about inheritance, learned behavior, recent research regarding trauma and epigenetics, and the fuzzy logic of dreams.

“You must be mistaken.” 2019, gouache on paper, 11x14 inches.
I let my mistakes and brush strokes show in this one, which goes against my instincts. The gouache’s matte finish makes them less visible in reproduction, which feels both a little sad and a little funny after all my internal struggles.

This change finished the piece. I’ll take a proper scan and post the whole soon.

I’m very slowly scaling up my work, and yet and finding new ways to obsess over very small areas, like this one. I feel perpetually perched on the edge of success/failure with this piece, more so than usual.

The overlapping shadows are about to get a lot more complicated.
