Bitter pill (2019 - 2020)
Bitter pill is an exploration in materialities and emotions, reflecting the shifting nature of strong emotional memories, reviewed over time. In material terms although only black or white media were used the tonal variations emphasis the subtle differences of things strongly felt. Matt and Gloss surfaces also intervein so elements, letters, words may appear or disappear according to directional light. Changing meaning, altering the atmosphere, in one position EAT FURY can dazzle with reflected light but as you shift other elements emerge, there is a point where EAT fades but SWALLOW FURY and then eventually only SWALLOW appears, at other moments the scale of your attention changes and tiny words will stand out such as wail or morn. Between the tonal polarities war rages, one continuously seeks to overcome the other.
