Crowd Control - drawing series

graphite on hot press watercolour paper
22" x 30"
​all drawings completed in 2022
on view at The Blue Building Gallery, February 11 - April 23, 2022
This series of drawings uses protest images as a reference. With the bodies of the
participants removed it is up to the viewer to decide their roles and for what purpose the fence is being
used. Are they keeping them in or out, are they protection or weapon?
