this was done with a twig dipped in ink. as is the case with most of these, it was done during my years at the national council

- my doodles were quite grotesque. i don’t see what people complain about now. my current paintings are far more placid and tame
- a whimsical illustration and a portrait of my hand, late 1990s
- i drew this in 1987. i must have done dozens of bowie portraits in my teens
- this one was painting with poster paint on the back of an ikea frame leaflet
- the water towers. they are one of my favorite structures in kuwait. them, the towers, and the green, round building in salmiya, which is being demolished as i write this
- this is a painting i did on the back of a ripped piece of a national council certificate of appreciation
- drama. this is so corny and melodramatic but i just had to include it. what can i say, i’m feeling a little masochistic this afternoon
- this doodle is one i feel so familiar with, as if it had been on my desk the duration of my employment at the national council
- a collage of old and older. the photocopies are from a contact sheet of portraits our school photographer took of me for the yearbook. like i said earlier, a masochist this afternoon
Love, love, love seeing these. It’s like time travel through Ghadah’s head.
in that case, there are many destinations!
It’s like walking into a dream.. I’m in love.. absolutely in love.
in love is a good state of being. and a dream is a great place to be.
