Deafening, 2019

This large scale abstract drawing is inspired by the writings of Nan Shepard, specifically her meditations in "The Living Mountain".

 

Deafening, 2019, toner on paper

It is as if the wind is pulling the words from my throat...out into the open


The wind is so loud and electric I cannot even hear as my own words spill from my mouth...I say them louder, feeling them in the chest...yet, once they pass my lips they are erased...or perhaps released


I have gone deaf...or maybe I am hearing things for the first time
