A place where he freely lives and goes. An entity that visits and haunts us in the studios especially when we have hair-tearing frustrations and blocks in the art making process. The souls we have to sell, the dealings we have to make in pursuit of the mastery in our craft, every handshake is a return for just a passable brushstroke or epiphany.This work is about the struggles all artists face.
