"Dreamscape" (2020)
9x12 Pointillism Drawing
// ORIGINAL / PRINTS FOR SALE //

WOW, this took forever. Here's the story. 🌕
In March of last year, I watched a documentary on the incredible artist Yayoi Kusama, who would sit for hours on end filling pages with dots. I started this drawing with the same intention, to fill an entire page with nothing but dots.
Within 10 minutes, I started realizing that shapes were forming and how much freedom there was to create directly from the subconscious with pointillism. Deciding to follow what I saw, I continued for many hours until I filled most of the outside of the circle with what shapes my brain made from the dots.
Not gonna lie, the center circle scared me. Something important had to go inside of it and I had NO idea what to put. So it stayed empty for a year.
A few weeks ago, I picked it back up with a full year of new knowledge. I had been practicing creating waves (you'll see in my next post), and decided on the lighthouse and moon to be the centerpiece.
After ~60 hours of just doing dots, it's finally finished.
I am SO happy with the results, and find it incredibly fulfilling to complete something that has sat staring at me, incomplete, for over a year.
🌸If you read this far, thank you.🙂🌸
(PS. I'm making prints of this! If you're interested, send me a DM!)




subconsciously inspired by the incredible Visothkakvei.
