using a vintage book cover as a canvas i started with layers of orange, red, cream and yellow paint. then a hand carved stamp (by me) was dipped in paint and ink to create texture on top of the layers. i was drawn to the third eye blind song, wounded, so the lyrics are written in ink to bring even more texture. the words almost recede into the background becoming a part of the design. the blue green strips are painted with watercolors creating an abstract form suggesting a ladder, a way out.
