TEETERING THE LINE

Teetering the Line by Drossman

These drawings were all created using pen and Prismacolor Marker during a time when I had intense physical and emotional pain. I worked though my pain by making a drawing a day for an entire year leading up to surgery. They are obsessive and created with immense pressure applied from my pen to the paper. On many of these works you can see the embossing from the pen. There were many occasions where the pen ripped right through the paper. In my eyes, they are layered with pain.
