Story Follows State (2023)


This drip composition was made after the artist became aware of Polyvagal theory - the idea that the mind narrates what the nervous system knows. The paints were mixed to a very low viscosity and dripped from a stick at a close distance which created uniquely shaped micro pools of color that pop from the canvas.

Medium: Acrylic, latex on stretched canvas.
Dimensions: 30” x 40” x 1.5”
