Emotional Illustrations

Behind the Scenes of My Latest Illustrated Book

Exploring Five Core Emotions

Here you can look more closely at the collages from my book, Layers of Feeling. Step by step, the same configurations are retraced and simplified. While the minimal outline illustrations in my book shine through facial cutouts in the same configuration, the abstract free-ink paintings are overlaid with simple geometric shapes that symbolically represent the current emotion.
