1000 Voices Part II

This illustration if for my friend Mimi. It illustrates her opinion for Evan Turk's A Picture for a Thousand Voices project.


Often, I do a couple of versions. Here's the other one that I liked:

Equality is achievable if we keep our hopes alive,
because the minute we back down is the minute
they'll think they've won! - Mimi

Mostly I wanted to express Mimi's determination to persevere, and her hope that, through that perseverance, over time we can achieve equality. Since Mimi's opinion was fairly general and abstract, I kept the illustration abstract. I hope she likes it!

Olafur Eliasson at Moma

I went to the Olafur Eliasson's Take Your Time at Moma and was inspired to make some drawings at the show. If you've been to the show, you can probably tell which piece inspired which drawing.





I like them because they are drawings that help me understand what's happening - drawings made to figure something out and explain.
