I love insects, and wood is a great canvas so I created a series of "new school" style paintings on wood. I also experimented with a plywood knot by sanding and finishing it so it was smooth like stone. I really loved some of the paintings like the roach and bird, but the wood knot was more interesting to me in its simplicity and characteristics that conflict with what it actually is. Plywood is so rough and ugly, but it turned out smooth and vibrant.

I took a knot cut out of piece of wood and sanded it until it was perfectly smooth, then finished it with olive oil and vinegar
