Little Joy: Lamb Tartare at Macellaio Print

I am depressed. I have been living in Texas for over 10 years. Each region has its charm and beauty, but still I fail to find it in Dallas and the North Texas Plains. Soon after I turned 25, I went foraging for mushroom and sorrel by White Rock Lake. I had no luck finding anything other than burdock along the rich river bank. Then all the sudden, I looked upon a human skull - its empty eye sockets gazing at me. My partner exited the wooded area to call the police, I had to stay with the remains. I thought, “this place is slowly killing me.” This place is not culture rich, it is not inviting, and it is not beautiful compared to any of the other regions. It is a place to make money and raise a family. This Prismacolor drawing floats on Dura-Lar with acrylic paint on the reverse. It is based on a collaged composition using limited imagery; a reflection of my monotonous studio practice with a color palette to match. These drawings are a distraction from interacting with the city that lays outside of my door.
