“Quid me Nutrit me Destruit” Latin proverb meaning “that which nourishes me also destroys me”. Has obvious connotations to drug and alcohol abuse, but in my case, it was a heartful of misguided feelings that were not reciprocated. The ordeal ultimately emotionally hamstrung me, but also inspired me to make new pieces fueled by the acute pain. As such, it nourished, and destroyed me. Mixed media on clay panel, 8”x10”. This is more watercolor than scratchboard, so I will not mark it as a scratchboard piece.

“Quid me Nutrit me Destruit”

Latin proverb meaning “that which nourishes me also destroys me”. Has obvious connotations to drug and alcohol abuse, but in my case, it was a heartful of misguided feelings that were not reciprocated. The ordeal ultimately emotionally hamstrung me, but also inspired me to make new pieces fueled by the acute pain. As such, it nourished, and destroyed me.

Mixed media on clay panel, 8”x10”. This is more watercolor than scratchboard, so I will not mark it as a scratchboard piece.
