Ephemeral

Boundary

I chose this location because of the length of the boardwalk. I used sticks to mirror the linear element that originally attracted me to this landscape. My goal was to have the sunrise cast long shadows down the boardwalk, but the last two days were too overcast. 

Scopophobia 

My inspiration for this drawing was scopophobia, the fear of being watched. I always suspect that someone can see inside my large well lit windows at night. I was hoping to have more lit windows in my photos, but once I started experimenting and using flash, my neighbors scopophobia must have kicked in because everyone turned off the lights and drew the blinds.

 Hobnobbing in a Wigwam 

Artist Statement: The first one I experimented with crumpling the paper before drawing and erasing. The second I experimented with cross hatching with the charcoal and cross hatching with the eraser. The third one I made to remember a sunset hike at Sunny Sands with my dear friend Chase. The fourth one I made because my girl Annabel looked bomb in her new suit at Purple Hatters Ball.

Artist Statement

These two pieces were an exploration in finding new ways to make marks and create with limited materials. The first one I was interested in creating ridge like layers. The second one I was interested in using shapes and stripes to create a geometric pattern.
