Jerel Mani, Mrs Mint, 2024, pastels on paper, 320 mm x 240 mm

Mrs. Mint is my long-time companion, often asleep, she is my muse that forms the focus of this drawing. Stroke upon stroke i loose myself into the external reflection of inner peace. Building up the layers of her silken fur my worries fade and I join her in the black velvety nothingness of all.
