charcoal
“Graphite is my beautiful clean house. Charcoal is my home. My comfy place. My sweat pants and messy hair. Over the past two years, I’ve had less and less time to create. When I do get a chance, I am drawn to charcoal and stronger, darker images. Going back to charcoal is going back to the roots of where I started as an artist. The physicality of charcoal, its unpredictability and chaos, the struggle, and the eventual rewarding excitement it’s capable of giving keep bringing me back home.”
