Ms March

Acryllic on paper.

Returning to my series of abstract paintings based on whatever fiction book I happen to be reading.

This was inspired by Virginia Feito's novel Ms March, the story of an insecure woman who prizes appearances above all and steadily loses her grip on reality. Imagine DuMaurier's heroine in Rebecca crossed with Bryce Dallas Howard's character from Black Mirror and throw in a lot of psychosis. I wanted to capture her orderly, black-and-white thinking being fractured over a background of static.
