About this piece: I was lucky enough to have two copies of the same magazine, and I was intrigued by this face. One is darker and more detailed than the other, perhaps as a result of one being an earlier edition. The flower and pod elements were drawn earlier, and only when I started putting the piece together did I find them and feel their relationships.
Love is very conditional.
