River and Celia in Underland (@riverandcelia.bsky.social)

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a steady art practice, but I’m stepping back in like it’s a residency. The Faces series has been with me since college—unsettling, familiar, honest. Now I’m pushing it further into mixed media. #ArtProcess #IndependentArtist #FacesSeries #NeurodivergentArtist #M

Dispatches from the Void: Food for Thought River is stepping forward to focus on art while Celia teaches. After years without a steady practice, River is reclaiming the title of artist by treating life like a residency—committing to eat, sleep, and breathe art again. Process has always mattered more than finished pieces, though some works, especially from the long-running Faces series, stand out. These portraits explore tension, unease, and the experience of being neurodivergent, particularly the discomfort of eye contact. River continues to paint faces and make photographs, and is now seeking funding and residencies to expand the series with mixed media elements such as fabric and beads, pushing the work into new dimensions. #BangkokEats #ThailandFoodie #WhatToEatInThailand #BangkokTravel #SushiLovers #ShabuShabu #ArtistInThailand #PrintifyShop #FoodAndArt http://riverandceliainunderland.com/2025/09/04/dispatches-from-the-void-food-for-thought-2/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=jetpack_social
