Safety Net
color pencils and dry pastel, 2014
42”h x 31.5”w, framed
Saftey Net is about learning to cope with a fear and sensitivity to death. I change roles with the deceased animal by meticulously rendering its parts into a lifelike and animated state, while my hands are depicted in a linear and ghostly manner. This piece acts as a portrait of myself and of the animal I am honoring, connecting us together.
