Ink on wood panel.
11x14"
Walking through the forest, surrounded by tall fungus trees. Staring up at their vibrant gills, it's unlike anything I have ever seen. The mushroom stems are wonky, sprouting in unusual directions. A slight reflection shines from their caps, this surely wasn't on my map. The sky appears to be leaking as carrot colored lightning bolts strike. The face of a being peers through the sangria clouds, almost ghostlike. Speckles of rain begin to drop on my skin, but it immediately absorbs them. Oh, my head feels funny. All of a sudden it is sunny. Clouds fade before my eyes, revealing a moss sky. The spirit is staring right at me, its mouth open wide. Is this the thing responsible for this wild ride? Hiding behind mushroom scales, I see it make its way to me. "You don't need to hide", it whispers quietly. Claiming to be merely a figment of my imagination, it told me I'm on vacation and led me deeper into the forest. I must have fallen into the abyss and this is the illusionist.
- Emily Minor | MAINĀ
I am Mainā, a Toronto based artist, though I draw my inspiration from the world over. As an artist, I use both painting and poetry to radiate the euphoric madness that is life, lust and love. I lost myself to chaos for many years and through my art, I was found. With this artwork I aspire to help people see the true beauty in the chaos and madness that surrounds us, and to thrive from it. There is much serenity to be discovered in the vividness and intensity of the world's colors.
