Drawing Series: Rise
Started in 2012 this series began as an outlet for pain and grief.
This series actively records and works as a visual memory to the emotions felt at the time of each piece’s rendering or conception. Each piece is meant to have the viewer consider the idea of “place” in both geographic terms, but also in the sense of the emotional spectrum. This is meant to illustrate a journey that is both external and internal. The pieces are sequential meaning that there is a start, finish, and proper linear progression to the series but there are no plans to show them in sequence until the series is finished.
