Brocade 2018-2020
Creatures are composed in intricate arrangements in this watercolor series. Each design mimics highly decorative brocade wallpaper patterns. Upon close inspection, the artwork is made of a mix of vermin, including notably a tangle of rats. The work was created pre and post-partem as I experienced a need to shift materials to a non-toxic option. The stiffness of the design speaks to the rigidity of working with watercolors as an unforgiving medium.
