The body strains forward in a sculptural, almost anatomical study: bone, sinew, and pocketed work-clothes rendered in patient graphite hatching, while the warm umber paper breathes through every line as light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a portrait of the inner act of projection — the moment a thought leaves the mind and is launched into the world. The figure is both the archer and the arrow. What we cast outward is, always, a piece of ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand-drawn in graphite pencil on toned paper.
