Foundational
This painting began as a charcoal drawing. I continued building on the energy from the drawing by working in layers, using primarily acrylic paint. Then I further enhanced it by using an airbrush medium and hard pastels. The final product is intentionally imperfect, raw with the feeling of being unfinished. It is an expression of the fraying of social, economic, and political institutions, with an understanding these institutions are ever evolving, unfinished and imperfect.
