Lotus Girl: 2021-2022

Digital Pen, 5" x 5"

Lotus Girl kneels on a circular patch of gray which floats on a white background. She is nude, hands clasped to one another at her chest. Sparks emanate from or around her. Black and white, single line drawing except for gray. — Born Naked (1 of 2)

Lotus Girl kneels on a circular patch of gray which floats on a white background. She is nude, hands clasped to one another at her chest. Above her handwritten, capitalized words ask, "What does my brain need? What does my body need? What does my heart need? What does my spirit need?" Black and white single line drawing, except for gray. — Born Naked (2 of 2)

Lotus Girl, naked, back facing us, long black hair flowing off-screen, limbs tethered at the wrists and ankles to thin lines which also run off-screen. To the left, is a hand-written "poem," Strange Days. Black and white, single line drawing. — Strange Days

Lotus Girl lays across a bed of words - an original poem, knees curled to her chest, arms bent and tucked under her cheek, as her very, very long, black hair flow out across the page, over the edge. Black and white single line drawing. — Slow Life

Tiny black crumpled socks lay center page, handwritten prose below describes the sadness around finding artifacts from the artist's son while he is with his dad. Black and white, single line drawing. — Socks

Black and white drawing, single line. Lotus Girl kneels nude, seat rested on her feet, black hair flowing down her back onto the floor and off-page. With both hands, she holds a thread that forms a loop, at the center the handwritten, all-caps words, "Show me my silver lining." The line used to draw her body overlaps in places, giving the effect of transparency. — Silver Lining

Lotus Girl stands, nude, her torso exposed, in a sea of blackness -- maybe it is her hair? Her black hair flows out and up into the air across the page and off the edge. Her forearms emerge within the black sea, drawn in white line, hands clasping a thread that weaves through the sea, eventually spelling "Please" in handwritten script. Black and white, single line drawing. — Please
