Ephemeral Project

Recently I have been very focused on my desire to find a new location and my inability to currently leave Tucson. Inspired by Andy Goldworthy's work and his method of working I chose to express these feelings I had by drawing road maps of two locations that have been imprinted into my mind currently. I chose to use charcoal from a burnt piece of wood as the medium to draw on the rocks I chose. I wanted to use an impermanent medium since the locations I desire to go change constantly. As I was drawing, the wind was already weakening my drawings. I chose to use rocks as a canvas to draw the maps because they have the inability to move on their own as well. Rocks are only moved by outside forces and have no control over their destinations, much like my inability to leave Tucson due to constraints that I currently can not change.
