Oof. I've been working on this all day. Covering everything i want to stay pink, purple, white with the wax. That leaves just the pupils and iris, and eyelashes that will go in yellow dye. 1-2 more hours before dyeing time #wip #dyeing #eyeart #moretroublethanitsworth #batik

"Stop Fooling Yourselves!" Stickers, oil pen, and collage elements on found paper 6.5"x8" Marc-Anthony Macon, 2024

“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

Rayon twill eyeball batik in progress. The dark parts are covered with wax (and why it's stuck to the table.) When I dye it, the waxed ares will stay white. Sound on for asmr. #batik #waxresist #eyes #fiberart
