Heads Series IV, 2010–2011

In 1996 I started using earth and oil as my material for drawing and painting in an extensive ongoing series titled Earth Marks, Heads, Notes from Journal and Notations. In the series Heads, I explore the aspect of transformation. By using linseed oil mixed with earth and manipulating the material on mylar, the heads seem to form by themselves informing me of evolving possibilities of expression and transformation.
