Drift Away #11532016 48x36

This artwork was a pivotal piece for me. It was the first time I used charcoal and acrylic together to solve my compositional exploration to a satisfactory result. It also was what I call the mother ship as I created a series of artworks derived from the palette, shapes and approach to this work that I am still working with today. Some of the red oxide and white colors were added with charcoal. This artwork and series inspired a Minneapolis choreographer, Pam Gleason, to create a dance performance with original music and projected images of the art in 2019.
