Watercolor, embossing, silkscreen, acrylic, and collage on paper

Collaged and watercolor drawing on paper.  Wide open purpling eyeballs with persimmon pink lashes and acid yellow irises frame a bright and watery abyss.  Yellows, greens, and purples bleed and mix into one another, stitched together with drops of watermelon pink that look like mucor. Three giant brown heads with ice white ponytails and orchid colored lips descend the page in a free fall. Two claw hand silhouettes hover in an open palmed gesture for “stop”. The hand to the left is bubbling with colors of the abyss, and the hand to the right is covered with wide open eyes and baby lilac irises.
