Ink Work - Large Portraits
Future with Marigolds
While skulls may evoke feelings of discomfort or even fear, this skull represents the inevitability of death as a comfort. Skulls are a common subject for me, and on this extra large scale, the skull as Everpresent gains added emphasis. Just below the surface of all our faces, our skulls lie in wait.
Abstract and representative marks struggle against each other, teasing out the representational skull from ink abstraction.
