Mistakes
Soft pastel on various colored paper
25 drawings at 11” x 10” each

This series is based on perceptual errors that were encountered in the course of daily life. Most were visual experiences, but some were also aural and a few were taste-based. The drawings point to the slipperiness of perception and also the beauty of subjectivity and deeply psychological biases of perception. These works are meant to be looked at indirectly, out of the corner of your eye, which allows the viewer to re-create the ambiguity that was originally experienced. The drawings are as simple and undetailed as possible, which is why most of them are made with a single color of soft pastel on a colored paper background.
