Witness' Face


16x20"

When the Black Pearl Cycle drawings and accompanying works are completed and displayed at the TinyATH Gallery in October 2020, this drawing will be hang opposite them, facing them, positing:

 "What if a piece of art or body of work, upon observing and experiencing it, could change the viewer, the Witness, in profound, tangible, material ways? What if the "dialogue" relaying betwixt "subject" and "object" were of such a mutagenic and disintegratory nature that the Witness, being dynamic, were molded by the static truths of the work?"


The Mining of Low Justice


14x17"

Directly inspired by a dream, this drawing differs very little from the original imagery. However, between the translation of the dream's emotive tones into "physicalities",  and subconcious influences during its creation, it became more sinister than I anticipated.

This drawing is about transgression, trespass, and stumbling upon something not meant to be seen; it is also about living tunnels, fungal caverns, and abominations wearing terrible disguises...
