This 16 × 20 inch painting features my quilted head iconography, built from thousands of hand-dotted marks and intricate linework that stitch the figure together like a patchwork of thought and experience. The figure rests against a richly layered surface with the flowing depth of a river, creating a sense of movement beneath the stillness. The work reflects on how some things feel smooth enough to the touch to trust or consume, while reminding us to be careful not to navigate life by feeling alone. Created with acrylic paint and Posca pens on canvas, the piece comes with a hand-printed and signed Certificate of Authenticity.
