DRAWINGS · Portraits of Heart Matters

A series of visual investigations into "heart matters" - Cordi esse alicui - which is just a fancy way of saying things, people, and quirks that we care about way more than we probably should.
Using a highly sophisticated mixture of colored pencils and white acrylic paint (mostly to cover up the parts where the pencils didn't cooperate), these portraits map out human affection in all its weird, unpolished glory.
It turns out that when you look closely at what people hold dear, it is rarely flawless symmetry, but rather a chaotic and deeply entertaining collection of personal obsessions.
No wrinkled brows or heavy life lessons here - just raw, lines, accidental smudges, and a curious look at the things we choose to love.
