I scanned the etchings I made at Peacocks about femicides in Mexico:
«10 women are murdered daily in Mexico. If I were in there, I would be joining my friends in the protests. They send me voice notes when they march and tell me about the fears they are feeling, and I wish I was there to be angry together. If I’m not back tomorrow, burn it all.»
I had made an animated gif of a vignette I drew, but I wanted it to be more cohesive with the other illustrations I have produced. I work a lot with craft paper or recycled paper because of the materiality it offers storytelling, and the brownness, too. It has an earthy quality I enjoy and relate to, which is why I multiplied the etching layers to the paper textures on Photoshop.
