a 1/1 wood mounted Giclee Print of the combination traditional/digital piece 'Goopy Split portrait'. the piece depicts a portrait of the artist with his head split in half and green tendrils reaching out towards eachother from either half

a simplification of a deeper and more complex subject, this piece shows the split between mind and body, giving each one it's own eye, as they are equally important and valuable as individual pieces. despite the connection between them established by the goop, there is a dissonance that is caused between them, causing a dissociative effect. the brain recognizes it is not the body, and thus resents the fact that it must remain responsible for something so demanding.

24x24" illustration printed on Giclee Photo Gloss stock, attached to a 0.4” thick plaque, finished with varnish.

note that the wood's edges are scuffed from being transported, as is the case with most sketchnate pieces. the history of the piece is as important to the artwork as what it shows us, and so whatever happens to the pieces is part of the piece.
