2006 sketches - various models

These were done at the Gage Academy of Art 24 hr Drawing Jam. They had some actors come in from a local theatre group doing some poses.

2004 sketches - model A

These are some old sketches I did back in freshman year of high school at Gage Academy of Art. The model never showed up, so the instructor modeled for us. He was a great subject anyway.

Eternally Entangled

Prompt: A platform, stage or site for the redress of misdemeanors of public accountability.

I went to Bethlehem (Palestine) on Christmas this year, and these were all taken that day as I was crossing the West Bank Barrier. I sewed each photograph together with red thread. There is a myth that a red thread is tied from our finger to our soul mate. I took that idea and applied it to a less romantic situation. I believe that Israel and Palestine/all the Abrahamic religions are forever entangled. Christmas festivities seems inappropriate for that country, especially considering the last few months. The West Bank Barrier has become an oxymoron in the way that its purpose is to trap/protect but is now a testimony of its own infamy.
