  • Why did you create this work?
    Sadness and fear, their purpose when we process our emotions has always interested me. I translate it into a narrative from the point of a dog wanting to be there for his kid, through his company. A dog can't see colours, but can provide reassurance. I wanted to use the clouds around them as analogies, meaning that even if they are grey, they can be soft and okay with feeling or looking sad.
  • How were your illustrations used?
    These were illustrations created for one of my final projects for my course. In this case, a picture book.
  • What materials and techniques did you use?
    My images were created through a printmaking method called monoprint. Also used coloured pencils for some details.
  • Was this project commissioned?
    Un-commissioned
