About the Artwork:

“Daisy Chains was drawn to jumpstart a body of work that reflects on my personal experience with shyness, and the inner conflicts I face in social interactions and relationships.

This particular drawing brings forth the contradiction of wanting to be seen and be hidden simultaneously. The pairing of woven flowers and chain-link fence act as a guard, but I wanted the elements to feel bold and bright. In contrast, the model hides and feels distant, a slight smile but otherwise unapproachable. These mixed signals illustrate the disconnect between hidden feelings and an outer mask.

Dura-lar, as a semi-transparent substrate, allows for the figure to recede by being drawn on a lower layer. The flowers overtop curl and extend toward him to offer a semblance of cover, but not enough to keep him from looking out beyond the fencing between us.” – Haley Manchon
