I drink too much coffee.
I was looking for a way to visually quantify my coffee consumption in a way that a pie-chart wouldn’t do. So I combined my love for the aesthetics of a good stain with my love for russet beverages and ended up saving half of my morning coffee (in a "one for me, and one for my fallen homies" sort of way) and pouring it on a canvas.
I really liked where it was going, so I started adding Alizarin Crimson pigment to my leftover coffee, which is why what you see has taken on a reddish-brown cast.
