GAIETY
‘Light-hearted, pure spirited. A little festive, feeling jovial like carnival balloons.’
- Soapy, bubbly inked water printing on newsprint.
ASTONISHMENT
‘A sense of neutrality and a sudden, abrupt spark of shock.’
- Black painted base with block printing ink, added puffs of fragrant white powder.
DISGUST
‘ Unpleasant, repulsive, something sickening to the guts. Emotional, negative feelings amalgamating and spilling into a mess. ‘
- Black painted base with block printing ink, erratic spurts of UHU glue and residual mess from dirtied tissues.
HURT
‘Intangible emotional suffering, damaged but despite endurance, the pain bursts from its seams’
- Black paper ripped in the middle, crumpled, used dirty tissues underneath, a part escaping through the bigger tear of the top layer.
AROUSAL
‘Primitive, erratic, instinctual desire that’s unconscious. Gross, sticky, unwanted.’
- Mixed lip balm with block printing ink, spread over newsprint with paper. Messy splashes of white glue to enhance the grossness.
UNEASINESS
‘A constant, stable state, but something’s amiss. Something’s wrong. Uncertain, strained.’
- A strip of cartridge paper, black threads covering the length. A gap in the midst with a single, individual loose, out of control thread.
