Resting Drawings
2024

50” width by varying lengths

Colored pencil, marker, and oil pastel on paper


Resting Drawings are large format records of time spent in bed. Paper is laid on top of the fitted sheet. I lay down on top of the paper. Every time I adjust positions, I make marks wherever my hands land. These pieces are process-based and durational (an hour or more).
