This is the beginning of a new map for the upcoming show at UnionArts in Athens, Ohio, opening Friday May 10 from 6 to 9. Still thinking of a title for the show, but working with the theme of maps. Everyone’s invited!
THis is one of many preliminary sketches of Burnsville, W.V., where I spent a good deal of my childhood. I’ve been playing around with the mood of the map, the landscape, and my memories of this dear and dreamlike place in my young life, and how I think about it now.
