Famine

Famine is an example of thread painting in the extreme. This piece is made entirely out of thread - like illustrating with of a needle instead of using a ball point pen. The deep ruts in the landscape represent what it feels like to be used up - mentally, physically, and creatively. The horizon is so far away, an uphill climb through rough terrain, almost too far an expanse to travel. All that remains is desolation and despair.
