blood on wallpaper

14"H x 11"W each

In Wallpaper/Samples the painting in blood follows the patterns and designs on actual wallpaper samples. This series of paintings explores the fluctuating experiences that images can evoke. The pleasant and familiar patterns on the wallpaper are in opposition to the visceral and unsettling medium with which they are outlined.
