Prompted by a period of extensive reading on historical and contemporary issues our society faces, I created a painting inspired by Mark Rothko’s colour field paintings. 

Later, I took the same composition and decided to remake it in a collage of paste paper and a graphite drawing.  (Read about my paste paper here.)  Sometimes, my paste paper patterns are too much, and I feel nauseous looking at them.  Reading the news and doom-scrolling can feel the same.
