Lots of little things going on in my head with this piece....using line without using my favourite drawing utensils....using a bigger brush on a smaller surface....the use of red but not necessarily to entice in a soothing mode (red being a colour I note that people are attracted to because it is bright and alive and....)....the idea of nightmares without the easy way out of relaying them as evil but rather simply as fears....which can at times of course in reality be helpful and positive if you face them and deal with them. Still....also not an attempt to be ugly but to have a sense of beauty and balance...as well as to deal with the idea of focus as in being in focus or not being in focus and what does that actually convey in the artwork?
