Shaky

We live in a topsy-turvy world where things change at a moment's notice and nothing is as it seems. All this uncertainty led to the creation of this “Shaky Ground” series, a selection of cute, delicate little houses grappling with whatever that is, which controls our existence.

 
 

 

Shaky ground series

We live in a topsy-turvy world where things change at a moment's notice and nothing is as it seems. All this uncertainty led to the creation of this “Shaky Ground” series, a selection of cute, delicate little houses grappling with whatever that is, which controls our existence.

I don’t have words to describe how fun and liberating it is to contrast the powdery, uneven, whimsical texture of pastels with the rigorous geometrical precision of scaled architectural drawings. It takes a while to get all these disparate mediums and subjects in perfect harmony, and I guess that’s why I enjoy making them so much.

Pastels - 11” x 11”

Paper - 140 lb, acid-free, cold-pressed watercolor paper.

All drawings are exactly the same size.
