Drawings (2003 - 2008) > Blooming without Savage You

2008

Total of six drawings
Graphite, ink and mineral pigment on paper
30”x22” each

Created at the Millay Colony for the Arts where Edna St. Vincent Millay lived and wrote poetry for 25 years. These drawings are titled after a line from Millay’s poems. Fierce and strangely beautiful with determination to bloom no matter what.
