Gathering Guard is part of a series drawn in quiet conversation with the body, specifically the long process of healing from chronic illness. Each line is an act of attention, shaped by breath and the effort of staying present through pain.
This drawing stands tall and strong, but open. A complex arrangement of lines, circles, triangles, and rectangles interlock to form dense, intricate zones alongside moments of space and breath. It feels like a cluster of gathered armour and memory held in tension, like a reflection. There’s a mechanical rhythm to it and a sense of movement unfolds in its deliberate layers. The piece remains grounded and serene yet growing in its structure and technique. Depth is built through shifting line weights and tonal variation, giving the drawing both intensity and calm
This work invites you into the stillness of repetition and the discipline of letting go. Geometry meets organic imperfection, echoing the way healing moves: slow, uneven, and deeply human.
