Ink, Sharpie, Whiteout, and Gesso on Bristol

Creatively, this project was an exercise in remembering. Through the use of improvisational mark making, I worked to face a traumatic and notably dark period in my youth. The details of this period, I believe, are irrelevant and their sensitive nature makes them challenging to articulate to the wider world. The work serves as a robust, nonlinear timeline of events, littered with vignettes and crudely held together through a variety of organic forms and marks. There is no “right way” to enter and there is no “wrong way” to travel through, but there are most certainly a plethora of ways which one can interpret it. Simply explore it, feel it, see it, and live in it. For that is all that I ever intended of you. Nothing more, nothing less.
