Identity Crisis 1 - 2016 - Mixed media
Done at the height of my DXM addiction and under the influence of DXM, will tell the details if asked.

What materials did you use to make that? Very interesting.

A door.
Gouache and acyclic
The main problem with the paint cracking, unintentionally, was me mixing acrylic with gouache as I ran out of expensive gouache paint. The upper center is a wood board mounted on the door with screws, while the light is metal plates mounted on, and a light strip on the sides.

I intentionally built the bottom dark and gradually lighter as it got near the top, which helps add more drama to the colors with the light.

I bet it looks even better in person. Looks like it would be a fun project.
