In revisiting a series, I look at how to advance the story. Originally, this series was a visual metaphor using the image of a dog to capture a moment in time. The idea has evolved into self-portraits representing my relationship with mental wellness. To move forward, I made a few guidelines to follow. First, I selected the most awkward brush to work with, avoiding default techniques and a well oiled skill set. Second, the one brush had to be used for the entire series. And lastly, every element in the picture had to be honest and necessary for the telling of the story. Welcome to the funhouse.
