Seven Social Sins

My main project for 2010 was a series of twenty-one 24 inch x 24 inch mixed media pieces on canvas. Materials used included, paper, found objects, ephemera, pencil, colored pencil, watercolor, and acrylic. Most pieces have utilized some form of original drawing or painting. Each canvas contains a conceptual image based on one of Gandhi’s Seven Social Sins. Each sin has three individual pieces which apply to that particular theme. I chose to document the progression of five pieces. Primary sketches created during initial brainstorming development have also been included with four pieces. This allows the viewer to gain a better understanding of my artistic process as well as the relationship of concept sketches to the final imagery.
