I didn’t mean for this angel to be quite so horrifying. I’ve been sitting with the news of a death of someone young in my community, and thinking on the feeling of loss for a parent, a sibling, a friend who’s known them from earliest childhood.
How are angels born, and what umbelicus connects them to that which nourished them in life in the world?
We have a new artist in the Harmony Collective gallery, Leonard Ragouzeos. So I have been able to spend some time with his small gouache abstracts, and have found them inspiring for my own experiments in gouache and acryla-gouache. That’s what I was thinking about as I pushed myself to make something out of this particular noodling.
