Black Skinheads and Albino Peacocks
Statement: I have seen many Beautiful things; odd and hard to explain. These things have expanded my imagination in the best of ways. Dark skinned Knights not in shining armor but in green flight jackets and steel tip boots rescuing me, a lost maid in deep wood. Returned to a my Grandmothers and Ancestors, I sing my rich colors as I pet the prize of the Day Dream Garden, albino peacocks and hens.

Method: Palettes of 3 colors to represent the 3 chord structure of 1980’s Hardcore music feeling of war.
Red/White/Blue colors of the British and American flags. Indian Red/Ivory White/Indigo colors which resonate within me representing the I feel/hear in Ska music.
Third pallet will be of peace.
