Leaving through forests of golden red and green the sun shining since the first time we landed. Houses dotted on hills and a good song humming on the radio. Feels surreal like maybe this week is just a dream and […]
From my life drawings, I created a series of monoprints. Do these poses objectify the models or as life models have they already objectified themselves? What I’m finding interesting at the moment is that I’ve been so focused on the […]
