Number 44 Drawing

Colors: grey, green, blue, white The works in this series are intended to evoke emotions and contemplation rather than communicate a specific message. Some are dark, brooding and pensive; others are bright, expressive, vibrant. Similarly, some drawings are orderly while others are frenetic. With one exception, this series is comprised of vertical lines. This direction symbolizes openness and a release of energy, where horizontal lines would be restrictive and limiting. I work in charcoal because it's unpretentious, organic and unpredictable. Graphite is slightly more controllable because of its hardness. Each provides unique characteristics that I find complement each other. Paper size is 96x48 inches; actual drawing is 88x40 inches (4-inch border all sides). NOTE: These drawings will have dust marks or other byproducts of the creation process along the edges of the paper.
