What's in a "feeling"? 
2022

In this series, I focus on the body-mind relationship: 
what I feel, and what I "think" I feel. 

Pink relates to the sensed feeling. 
And black and grey, to thoughts.

Mixed Media (graphite, pastels, coloured pencils, and markers) on paper. Finished with a fixative spray.
This is a diptych, two pieces of 31x44 cm each.

“I don’t think I’m even seeing the tip of the iceberg...”, it came to my mind as I draw “Hummock”.
