Here are some drawings I have been working on, inspired by some new skills I learned at work in the costume shop. They are based on some drawings I did while at Bowdoin awhile ago. I enjoy the dimension of embroidery in these pieces because of the female legacy of sewing, added to the cameo silhouette imagery. Making the women monstrous adds a measure of rebelliousness and grotesqueness. Enjoy!
