I have to say I am kind of obsessed with this weeks Words To Live By artist, Marco Mazzoni, who’s words feel absolutely true but there is something about his colored pencil depictions of this female flowering fauna that has made me so unsure. She has caught and captured me into her world of would be eyes and I am allured completely finding myself floating away in her magical flora, half of me with utter bliss and the other half completely terrified. The only thing I am sure of is that I don’t want to look away! Get the full effect of this incredible artist at his show Immune at Thinkspace Gallery until November 29th.
