the accipiter, a bird of prey, as well as fossil studies and scientific renderings of cellular mitosis, formed the basis for the fragmented forms and ruptured avian figures that appear in these new drawings...the works demonstrate a sustained interest in corporeal transformation: the ability of physical bodies to break, tear, decay, heal and regenerate.
i love the juxtaposition in the heavy graphite markings and the soft washes of watercolor. just beautiful.
