Drawing Collection
For my drawing collection I began by experimenting with different mediums including coffee and tea dying. I made marks with gesso and acrylic paint. I also experimented with wax and tied in some old sketches with my experimentation. I began to pair the small paper together by ripping it up and tacking them onto the wall. I found a good layout and began to tape and glued the papers together to create a connection. The collection embodies a trail-like aesthetic which reminds me of a travel journal. The marks on the top create a mountain that flows down into scattered memories of a nature trail. The faces that are seen are reflections of myself during the journey. A long journey can leave you feeling accomplished- it is interesting to look back at the various stages you went through throughout a journey. Trail mix is an attempt to place every part of the journey together to see the overall outcome and effects a journey may have.
