CHARCOAL & OIL PASTELS
FEBRUARY 2025

DESCRIPTION

The Apparition appears to be a young man trapped in some sort of silent scream defined as much by what he is not as by what he is. Normally it is hard to stop working on something until often it is passed it’s true essence to some degree but with The Apparition I recognized that point earlier in it’s creation than usual. Whatever this piece says to you, it is going to say it more effectively in it’s ghostly form than it would otherwise. At least that is how I feel about it.
