HENNA TREE

A tree drawn from the inside out — trunk striped and patterned, branches tapering to decorated tips, a small mountain range sketched in the lower right as if the world is just beginning at the edge of the frame. Somewhere between botanical illustration and fever dream. All ink, all hand. The whole piece has the quality of something drawn slowly, section by section, each area resolved before moving to the next — the meditative mark-making of someone who is also a musician, which is to say, someone who understands that patience is a technique.
