The Invisible lyricists!¡, 2021

ink, paper, coconuts

100 x 140 cm

…stitching the brain with webs of liquorice thread!¡
Cold sweat saturating sheets…the musky stench of bedroom shadows!¡

Reality oozing back and forth…wretched whispers scorch dreams.

Garrotted by broken bed springs!¡

3am is warming, warning…from corner to wall we creep!¡

The invisible lyricists prick and burst the eardrums…undersilence!¡

My grandfather was a JuJu man, I am not. But I do believe that shadows can breathe!¡

I never draw with pencil; I enjoy the risky and fluid nature of ink. The drawings explore emotional states with the hope of scratching/falling into something or somewhere unknown.
