ADAMITZ SCRUPE
During a ten-week residency fellowship
at the USF Kulturhuset
in Bergen,
Norway in 2005, a new project
called The Mourning Drawings
developed.
A body of
three-dimensional drawings that reflect on themes of beauty,
sexuality, nature
and death, these ten pieces are made from inkjet printed
photography on paper
and fabrics, hand embroidery, crochet and other needlework
on silk, and life-size
figure drawings made of charcoal, pastel,
gesso, and ink on paper.
