For the first time I'm offering a complete sketchbook of original mixed media works and drawings. There are 8 works in total, 5 horizontal and 6 vertical. All works are 12" x 9". The works were made between 2/26/25 and 6/30/25. All 1 of 1, no prints made.
These works are part of my "The Space In Between" series. They are more vulnerable works than I usually choose to sell. I've edited some photos for this reason. The earliest pieces were very inspired by my trip to Vietnam, Cambodia and northern Thailand in January & February of this year. I gathered a lot of collage materials on that trip and took a million photographs. The bright colors and busy streets held my attention from dawn to dusk. I dreamed of living there while creating these works and the thought still enters my mind.
In June the works show signs of feeling unsettled and then turn hopeful at the end. My world is like that. No matter how bad I feel I continuously hold onto hope and it puzzles me endlessly. Where does that come from?
In the final artwork of this book I reference having a monk blessing in Chiang Rai, Thailand. I'm still wearing that bracelet. Still holding hope but I feel like I'm standing in a pile of chaos, clawing my way out. Being still. Trusting the world. And myself. I'm working on it.
