ROOTED | 2025
Acrylic, mixed media and collage on cradled wood panel
95 x 65 cm | 25.5 x 37.5 inch

This work reflects on the quiet shift from inhabiting a space to belonging within it, when the external structure of a house takes on personal meaning—becoming a container for memory, safety, and identity. It explores how attachment forms gradually, through repetition, presence, and emotional investment and speaks to the psychological process of grounding oneself and the often unseen transformation of space into place.

Dans les collines - 2025
Acrylic, mixed media and collage on cradled wood panel
95 x 65 cm | 25.5 x 37.5 inch

This work sits at the intersection of presence and disappearance and reflects my interest in how landscape can sometimes serve as a metaphor—formed through memory, intuition, and accumulation. My intention with this one was to evoke a quiet complexity, where ambiguity invites reflection and where meaning remains open-ended.

My work in the exhibition 'Dans les collines' that opens today explores the psychological terrain between presence and absence, certainty and doubt. Many of the 17 pieces reflect an ongoing interest in internal conflict—how unresolved emotions, memory, and perception shape our experience of the world and of ourselves. Through layered surfaces, ambiguity in form, and shifts in tone, I aim to create spaces that hold contradiction without needing to resolve it.
The Profanities series, for instance, examines how parts of ourselves that feel difficult or disruptive are often the most revealing. These works question the boundary between vulnerability and visibility, and the emotional cost of being witnessed without true understanding. Other paintings, rooted more in landscape or atmosphere, reflect on movement, transition, and the quiet tension between belonging and dislocation.
Underlying much of the work is a desire to slow down perception—to invite reflection on what is emerging, fading, or quietly persisting beneath the surface. Whether pointing to frustration, renewal, or emotional suspension, each piece traces the shape of experience as it unfolds, never entirely fixed, but always deeply felt.

Today's practice is my voice recorder. I borrowed my lavalier mic from its case while I tried to get dictation working on Linux to help with my carpal tunnel. I still draw right-handed so the injury doesn't relate to why I haven't drawn as much lately. ^_^

I'm trying to incorporate more organic things into my drawing practice. I started on this yesterday.

It's not finished but I figured I'd share some of my works in progress as best I could. The picture I'm working from as a reference is one I took myself of a feature near to my house. I'm not entirely sure what the human made structure actually is. It's embedded in the side of a hill and has all sorts of plants around it. The conical section is concrete. The top bit is painted metal that has rusted through the paint in a few places.

A new public post on my Patreon. I love it here on Mastodon but I also use Patreon to help support my art practice. If you like you can check out this post and become a free member. If you would like to contribute to my success in showing my work become a member.

I got a pine cone from the yard. It turns out that's going to take a few days to draft. I drew a color pencil but felt that was too easy. :blobcatflop: This should be familiar to a lot of people. This is the final of a bunch of attempts to make that shadow. The T part of TRS also needs some help. :blobcatgiggle:

I watched a video last night that was supposed to be about using charcoal for drawing but turned to be more fundamental about drawing. Today's practice reflects a few things I learned from it. Unfortunately, I didn't save a link to the video.

Since I'm taking the day off, I was playing around with one of the stick n poke ideas I have (the mouse cursor) rather than really trying to do any drawing. I ended up drawing a soup can and a musical note.

It kind of reminds me of Floyd-Steinberg dithering which I have feelings about.

This is a HIBY R1. I ran out of time yesterday. The bulk of the drawing happened today anyway.

Despite trying to draw small things bigger than they are, this came out really close to the size of the actual device.

(I don't endorse the HIBY R1 but this isn't a product review either.)
