Coil
16 x 20" panel.

I think this may be the very first series that I've made... As what I think is another first, here are the sketches for these:



Yet another first ( this is the last one for this post, I promise ), I will be making prints :] I will make a post in the future, or please keep an eye on my Etsy shop.

Saved the explanation behind this for last:
This triptych is based on the idea of human empathy. Your actions have a ripple effect on everyone in the community around you, so it would be best to consider more than what is simply convenient for you in the moment. I feel that in order to better understand others, it is best to understand both the 'good' and 'bad' aspects of yourself and in turn recognize everyone has these same feelings.
The sources I referenced were a mix of news, psychological articles, and Japanese mythology.
On the off-chance you want to read them...
A Model Demon and The Sparrow's Gifts. Sorry my Google-fu is terrible, and I can't find the Japanese stories online.
