2015 - 2016

A series of drawings built on tensions between love/hate, safe/unsafe. Highly detailed drawings built with intricate cross-hatching develop portrait-type creations of young children. Interrupting these portraits are harsh lines, intruding and mocking the time-consuming, tedious drawings beneath. These marks conceal and destroy the fine details below, creating a sense of unbalance, or unsafe. A hint that something isn't quite right. Similar to violently scribbling over a mistake, or attempting to erase something you no longer believe.
