“EPICANTHIC FOLD” | 25×19” | mechanical pencil, colored pencil, paint marker, gel pen on paper. Artwork part of upcoming @Tappan January 31st 2023 launch. https://www.tappancollective.com/collections/eriko-tsogo Series Statement: In continuation of my Wrong Women series, I made a series of charcoal based body print drawings using performance, pareidolia, metaphysical mark making and esoteric wisdom to reveal hidden forms into light as guided by my ancestor spirits. In this new batch of drawings, I am directly employing my body as medium for the initial base. The drawings start from a chalk body print that grow into moments of resistance and reappropriation, reclamation and resignification. I emphasized balancing control and the subconscious at play. I drew thematic inspiration from the longing and belonging for home, home in motion and the feeling of displacement, adaptation, experiential and folk wisdom, spirit, pareidolia in nature especially clouds, the body, astrology, novel experiences, pop culture, ritual, psychology and interdisciplinary art forms. #erikotsogo#tappan#tappanartist#newart#upcominglaunch#launch#exhibition#january2023#epacanthiceyes#eyefold#asianeyes#mixedmedia#drawing#body#performance#home#longing#displacement#belonging#ancestorspirits#pareidolia#esoteric#folklore#astrology#ritual#psychology
