Titanic Drawing

April of 2012 marked the hundred year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, a calamity that claimed the lives of over 1500 people from both sides of the Atlantic ocean. An event that adversely affected all of society, upper, middle and lower classes alike. The destruction did not just end with the loss of lives on the boat. The scar left on society lasted for decades, Fathers lost their children, wives lost their husbands, children lost their parents, and society lost many important figures. Even today, the sinking of this once beautiful ocean liner is in the back of our collective consciousness as a reminder of what can happen despite our best efforts and highest imaginings. Buried beneath the waves of the cold North Atlantic is a boat yes, but also the dreams and ambitions of an age. The small physical scale of these drawings is meant to bring attention to the grand scale of these events, both physically and in their lasting impressions on our national psychology. There are a few defining moments in each generation’s collective memory that we all remember, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the assassination of President Kennedy, 9/11. These drawings explore that national collective experience in small meditative vignettes.
