A floral-eyed kiu-fae named Nix from FAYBEL's original fairytale The Tin Princess: IAMIX, this piece's moniker, is best translated to, "I am number 9," with 'IX' being the Roman numeral. With its rich royal blue, floral-eyes motif, IAMIX is a manifest of rhythmic action--brushwork finessed by the artist--to cope, to last. Stokes craft a blossoming gaze of longevity to look upon the viewer, timeless as the idiom of the nine-lived cat. Each secret cat is the embers, the elemental flame of lives known and expected, dashed with those small, quiet desires, paths that ever echo within, snuffed out mid stars before the sun can carry them. All of us bear coveted universes within that can live at harmonious once and singularly end. Intricate details from this figurative work were inspired by flowery, fine bone china designs, Art Nouveau and elemental photography.
