The Nosebleed is derived conceptually from a small painting on paper. It’s a heady picture that explores some of my favored motifs, techniques, and colors through a pseudo-figurative fairy tale of romance within ebbing tides of moods. This work is like a dream landscape.
I like this composition because it checks off the boxes of what I like my work to be. It’s reactionary, a bit lyrical, MORE and dense, but still somehow airy and very interpretive. This work has many vignettes and looking at the whole thing is like going on an eye ride. You can choose to read it from either direction as well.
Panels 1-3 begin the left side of The Nosebleed. This segment exhibits a green canopy revealing two Pepto-pink flowers in the center. They are gloriously autonomous within a haze of bouncing curly cues. These large blooms are new lovers. What you don’t see sequentially after these three panels, is a battle of reds within a torment of mostly black and blue configurations. The Nosebleed is an odd narrative of sickening darkness vs. verdant havens of love. This grouping displays the latter.
