Daily Nested Drawings
A series of small, personal pen and ink drawings, created as a (quick) reflective, documentary practice amidst the cacophony of daily, fleeting thoughts, feelings and experiences of a mother of young children living off-grid. Each drawing is a small window into one particular thought or experience, a moment of delight, challenge, presence or insight nested within many others. Each unique tiny drawing stands alone, but is also a part of the collective series; beads in a strand or days in a life.
