In a Dissociative State 3 "In search of serotonin" (Original)
ABOUT THIS ART PIECE
Hey, if you know where serotonin went, can you ask her to hmu? Tell her I miss her. Tell her dopamine is an abusive motherfucker, the 70 mg of Vyvanse is not even keeping him in check from trying to destroy my life, and I miss her balance and contentment. Tell her I never meant to ghost her like I do with everyone else, and that without her I'm in shambles. I'm emotionally unavailable, but for her, I'll change my ways. For reals this time.
This 12 piece series focuses on dissociating, existential dread, and all the delusional fun that comes with navigating mental health in the modern world, where it feels easier to make a meme than get help.
SIZE: 16 in x 20 in
HOW IT'S MADE
This mixed media piece starts with a collage background using the pages of a thrifted Impressionism Art Book. From there, the background is hand spray painted, with acetone occasionally allowing the images underneath to peak through. Then, using digital drawings created in GIMP, the artist draws and creates figures, then using manipulation to create blur patterning.
This digital drawing is printed, then hand transferred onto glassine paper using a mix of laser ink, ink pen, and acrylic paint. Using the artist's unique blend of spirits and mediums, the paper is hand manipulated to turn transparent and sealed, then manually adhered with the artist's unique matte medium blend.
Lastly, the lettering is cut on vinyl, with each letter hand cut. Using transfer paper, the lettering is adhered to the canvas, then spray painted. The vinyl is removed to show the spray paint lettering, and the piece is sealed with 2 layers of spray satin varnish.
