drawings

During the pandemic, my hands begged to leave the keyboards and the kitchen and return to visual play. Borrowing my son's learning toys, I began tracing stencil shapes and filling these with patterns, moments, and words.

With each drawing, conversations and conflicts took place across and within forms, becoming beings of greater and smaller parts, louder and silenced voices.
