Night at the Opera
Soft ground, hard ground, aquatint, and drypoint
that which I chose to forget
Hard ground, soft ground, spit bite
relics of a dream
Hard ground, soft ground, spit bite, aquatint
haunting, unforgettable
Hard ground, soft ground, spit bite, aquatint, drypoint
Auto
Drypoint
if my thoughts
Drypoint
could write themselves
Drypoint
on air and take form
Drypoint
they’d overwhelm me and
Drypoint
leave me speechless

Drawing
Fall 2011-Spring 2012
As my plane from London Heathrow to Mal Pensa took off around noon on September 5, 2011, I broke open the package of a Moleskin notebook that I'd bought that morning in the airport. While we flew over France, my stomach punished me for all the anxiety I'd put upon it for choosing to spend a year abroad alone, and I reflected upon and recorded my goals for this year. In green Flair pen I wrote: "3. Finish my sketchbook -- sketch its blank pages away. Capture my surroundings via quiet observation --> drawings. Make time (and room!) for sketching, especially when traveling." Here's where we've made it thus far:

Concentration
Inspired by The Jungle and Joan Didion’s “At the Dam”, my concentration explores the relationship between land, sky, and industrial structures. As noted in early 20th century literature, these structures support industries that ultimately harm individuals and the earth. With time, however, the earth has molded and manipulated these structures until they become sculptures on the plains of the American Midwest. While decrepit, these structures are also beautiful.
