DOWNDRAFT
I intended for downdraft to function as an emotional or psychological response to exterior conditions. The bright, gestural lines allow the viewer visualize the gesture of my hand on the surface of the paper. These are urgent lines and marks, but they are placed alongside quiet moments of neutral colors and blurred, subtle line qualities. Downdraft is meant to illustrate the psychological experience that occurs when one is standing in the forest and hears the sound of the wind in the trees, watches the trunks sway back and forth and feels the wind blowing around one’s body.
