imagine her warmth as you ride against the corners of her wooden panels. she purrs underneath you. she dings with a satisfaction. you open her door and feel the heat of her insides. when i say i have a need…

Last session was a trip, still thinking about My Boy.

Introducing the Tappan Debutante 400 built-in range.

“EPICANTHIC FOLD” | 25x19” | mechanical pencil, colored pencil, paint marker, gel pen on paper. Drawing based on initial eye shapes. “SHADOW DANCE” | 25x19” | mechanical pencil, gel pen, graphite powder on paper. Drawing based on initial foot print. Artwork part of upcoming @Tappan January 31st 2023 launch. In continuation of my Wrong Women series, I made a series of charcoal based body print drawings using performance, pareidolia, metaphysical mark making and esoteric wisdom to reveal hidden forms into light as guided by my ancestor spirits.    In this new batch of drawings, I am directly employing my body as medium for the initial base. The drawings start from a chalk body print that grow into moments of resistance and reappropriation, reclamation and resignification.   I drew thematic inspiration from the longing and belonging for home, home in motion and the feeling of displacement, adaptation, experiential and folk wisdom, spirit, pareidolia in nature especially clouds, the body, astrology, novel experiences, pop culture, ritual, psychology and interdisciplinary art forms. #erikotsogo #tappan #tappanartist #newart #launch #exhibition #january2023 #epacanthiceyes #eyefold #asianeyes #shadow #mixedmedia #drawing #body #performance #home #longing #displacement #belonging #ancestorspirits #pareidolia #esoteric #folklore #astrology #ritual #psychology https://www.instagram.com/p/Cloz78hvhDL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
