A MERMAID THE SIZE OF THE OCEAN
205x742cm

Ladies staring into flames, holding skulls, born into shells and carying eggs into meetings. Theres a lion jumping over her head, but she stays unimpressed as it roars in her defense. Files, files, so many files and still haven’t caught the ones that we need. Many pigments and paints give textures to the flat surface. Mille fleurs, thousands of flowers, like the lady and the unicorn, like Monets nympheas and Boticellis spring. Mille fleurs, thousands and thousands of flowers, inevtibly spring will be born.
