Mixed media artist Ken HouseGo rarely includes figures in his work. Yet he credits figure drawing in recent years with “building a repertoire of sensitivities and understandings” that makes its way into his layered surfaces.

Witness the textures in his 2012 work Lunar Alignment, Full Moon. They are skins, cut through in places, abraded in others. Even pierced. Scarred, yet luminous; reflecting light. Naked as a bruise, containing the whole rainbow.
