Thomasin, This is very exciting! I see something happening in this latest piece: the background and the figure are no longer two separate things. You're making similar kinds of marks everywhere and the result is that the figure truly emerges from the ground. It appears to have grown out of the ground, actually, since there is an organic, morphing sort of quality about your figures. The effect is totally mesmerizing. It's both completely three-dimensional and completely two-dimensional at the same time. The deep color in the background absolutely works with the colors in the head, too. Brilliant! Your work never ceases to awe me.
