Again. I used the colour palette of black and white because, for me, it symbolises life and death and it helps me produce work that is simple and clear and it allows me to simplify the complex emotions that come alongside the subject. This time I mixed the paint with coffee, for the same reason as before, it symbolises my fear of losing my mum, I associate coffee with my mum, therefore using it in my paintings is helping me come to terms with death and help me reach the realisation that death is one of those things, and one day I will lose someone I love. The above pictures are when the paintings were still wet, I wonder if they will crack through the drying process or remain the same?
