And I would move the canvas around, or the paper around, and allow these drips to move across to create this textured background that only a human being could do.

This is a physical...

act of moving the paint around so that it drips in only ways that I can decipher and determine.

Then I would fill in my colors on top.

So then you have this tangibly made, emotionally presented image.

And then when I shared that on social media, I started my description of each piece with ever feel like, and then I went into the description of the piece.

Ever feel like you can't see the woods through the trees.

And then I would go on a little bit and then I would title the piece and present it.

I would do that a few times.

I did that over the course of, after we spoke, over the course of 2024.

Oh, there's a cat.

I would do that quite a few times.

And then in early March of 2024, I contacted the Quentin Blake Center for Illustration.

I had seen that they were developing a new center for illustration, a new museum gallery space.

And on that site, and there's the main building, there's this very long building.

On that site was a small windmill space, which they described as potentially a space for activations and small activities.

And I had contacted the center saying, oh, I've just started making these paintings.

I've got this body of work, but I've just started making these small paintings in A2.

It's a cylindrical building.

I'd love to exhibit them in this cylindrical building as a series.
