A therapist once suggested that I add my writing into my work and this is the result of that comment.
The series started in 2011 and the pieces were originally created using oil paints and the sharp end of a compass.
I later switched to pen and paper, where I use a fine nib pen and fit four lines of writing into an eighth of an inch. Each piece can take several months to finish and it’s a visual journal of my life.
