Illustrated this piece called ‘Kraken’ inspired by sea monsters born from old Nordic sailors’ imaginations. I find it intriguing how through the ages, we have intuitively externalised the fear of the unknown and poured it out into objects or creatures that can be physically seen, manoeuvred and conquered. Mythology and the imagination are almost essential to our collective emotional sensibilities as a race. Stories help us survive. We see this idea applied across disciplines too; when we are drawn into defining a problem statement, asking the right question, refining the intention, always articulating finer and better, whatever it is we grapple with in this messy, often fuzzy and chaotic, largely unresolved world. Technical difficulties 🥲 I struggled with this piece and sat on it for quite some time before deciding to call it. I conceived it as a more pastel-y and less saturated colour palette. Was running out of patience and paint by the time I was done. The paper began to warp a bit and I did not wanna risk adding on another layer. My palette got pretty muddy too and after a point I was just noodling around, trying out variations of the same thing. However, the good (and bad) thing about gouache is you’re never fully done until you say you are. We’ll see if we wanna return to it another day. Long caption today, was feeling a bit chatty.🤷🏻‍♀️ . . . Kraken (13.5” x 19.5”) . . . Sonnet Gouache & Brustro on 300GSM watercolour paper . . .
