Baby’s Beak. A beak is a useful feature for the survival of a bird, it has many functions and useful attributes. The idea of the babys beak is about the childhood essence discovering its capabilities and potentialities within its body. To see the potential that resides within them and to not be afraid to explore their unique features. 

Baby’s beak was an exploration for me to created more fluid forms of isolated texture, to see how these layers would come together and how they would create a dialogue. This was an experiment done without a composition or predetermined outcome in mind. 

For me this was a way to tap into that childhood essence of experimenting without the control of what I want and desire but to see what would be revealed to me in the process through my skills and practice. I feel the outcome has a very light, fluid and beautiful essence to it that really captures the mood it was made in. Discovery.
