I've just finished the third piece in my current series of drawings focusing on my grandmother Bernice Bowman. I hope you enjoy!
The original idea regarding this series was simply that in telling my grandfathers story it is important to tell my grandmothers story. That’s it! Simple.
Additionally I thought the narrative element would be stronger if the drawings were many and displayed side by side. I'm thinking of at least 5 drawings now.
All of the images I'm drawing from were taken roughly within the same 5 year period of her life in Illinois. I love the idea that in depicting this time in her life whilst personal to me also allows the viewer to project their own story into it.
