The ability to see what isn't actually there. To be able to conjure up a physical representation of abstract thought. My sketchbook starts with an exploration of impressionistic owls awash in color and strokes. While realistic in their depiction, the colors are allowed to take over the composition. Halfway through the book, it is literally flipped into a series of character-based owls that inhabit their own colorful world of fantasy. Both sides are awash in vibrant colors. Owls are the medium, and colors are the message. Archival Fund Harman Projects Exhibitions Harman Projects gallery, June 2022
