Watercolor
36 x 36 x 1 in (91.44 x 91.44 x 2.54 cm)

Patterns of grief and generational trauma of mental health crises and suicide. Made with three colors of paint: Indigo, Quinacridone Gold and and Quinacridone Rose. The brush is barely washed between single strokes. This mimics the human experience of epigenetic inheritance.

Painted on hand-built watercolor paper canvas. Paper is soaked and stretched around wooden stretcher bars to create a drum-like surface for painting large watercolors.
