Stefan Koidl and horror art

This is going to be a very short post about the work I was doing during quarantine. It's all in response to Koidl and it's not work that I feel is meant to be explained, only interpreted. Hope you enjoy both the work and the influences.

As I mention in my proposal for unit 6, I would have much preferred -in hindsight- to start my final major when everyone else did because with all the knowledge I have now, it’d take half the time to complete and could be even better. There have been lots of struggles and mishaps along the way but now I’m at the end of the road, it was all worth it. The biggest challenge has been the overwhelming patience I’ve had to develop in order to not abandon or ruin the piece. There were many times I wanted to give up and start something new, many times I wanted to tear it off the wall and burn it.
