Roadtrips is a series of drawings that have been an idea or a “work in progress" for the past few years. These, mostly, charcoal drawings are a place I can go between other projects. This possibly helps to explain the nature of this work.
Flying down the highway we can often blow by and miss what is actually more important than getting to a “destiny”. It may be that the real calling is not the road or the destination but the high places, the mountains, the quite spaces we are speeding past.
There is solace in these fierce landscapes and a tradition across many faith systems to retreat into the hills and quite places for renewal. Perhaps, there is a measure of rest and solace in simply shifting our focus to these places.
