Lost in Thought

During the period in which I did not have access to a print studio, I experimented with drawings over photographs.  This series layers a line drawing, most often of myself deep in thought, which was based on a photograph of my walking through the house after I first inherited it, when I felt overwhelmed with the task ahead and unsure of what to do (Photograph by Laura August).  I examine the house from multiple angles, inside and outside. These works address my efforts to understand my heritage and the wider heritage of the house from the place of unknowing. The exhibit will include a small selection of them.

Witness.

My shadow with my camera places me as witness to this field and all it evokes.

Loss

A moment of staring at the materials in the deteriorated room. What is required of me? Can I do it?
