Command

$400Original canvas

“To learn to see- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.”

— Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

Canvas with hand-generated gilding and silk embroidery. Imagery reflective of the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for Intermittent explosive disorder (IED). Gold detailing follows the Circle of Fifths — a tonal architecture mirroring the diagnosis.
