Compensations

Pencil on paper
2015

Organic formations extracted from their regular context is a recurring theme in the work. Through fragmentation a sense of disruption is generated, which subtly disturbs familiar concepts, creating a void that we have to fill in ourselves. In a series of drawings, entitled Compensations, stone and shell shapes have been brutally cut, metaphorically reminiscent of the human impact on the environment.
