Baby Clips Hear Me, Christopher Coryat, Mixed Media. Below is a mixed media image made from Wood, Various Prescription Pills, Lacosamide 300MG, Gabapentin 300MG, Levetiracetam 500MG, Oil Paint. It depicts a portrait of a person, including the head and upper torso. The image is painted in a harsh and gestural style that emphasises texture. The torso and lower face are covered with their hands, which have buttlerfly hairclips on the ends of their fingers. The face behind them is caught in a look of intense focus. The base of the painting is bright pink and the overlaid colors are a mixture of skin tones, red, and black. Metachrosis Magazine
