Knowledge Tapestries
Description: Do you ever feel like you’re sliding into numbness? That once, in the past, you used to get excited about things? You used to be interested in the world, but as time passed and life happened, you slowly but surely started to loose that excitement? A while ago I noticed that this is how I was feeling. I was sliding. I was becoming numb. Joy and excitement became distant memories. I was going through the motions of my own life, but I wasn’t really there. So I decided to wake up my curiosity again. To start to go back a little bit and see why and where I might have forgotten to walk around with my eyes and mind open. I created the original artwork with Inktense pencils and black ink on Fabriano Bristol paper.
