Artist Statement
These pieces are part of my recent re-exploration of visual expression and larger collection of work titled Sehnsucht –a German word for deep yearning mixed with nostalgia. They use ink and watercolor to explore connection to and absence from our surroundings. The inspiration for these particular pieces comes from the stark contrast between urban life, its impact on us, our planet, and the creatures whose land we inhabit, as well as dreams of some long lost world that may or may not have been.
