The Wrongs of Spring: A Subversion of Seasonal Rebirth
This black-and-white ink drawing titled The Wrongs of Spring twists the conventional narrative of spring as a season of renewal and hope. Instead, the chaotic, swirling lines and distorted organic forms suggest something unnatural or awry within this seasonal transformation.
The thick, striped element evokes imagery of an insect larva or some invasive growth, crawling through a landscape of twisted vines and fluid-like puddles. The title hints at the contradictions of spring—a time often celebrated for beauty and life, but which also brings floods, allergies, and the relentless push of nature reclaiming its dominance.
The monochromatic palette intensifies the stark tension, stripping away the vibrant hues typically associated with the season and leaving a bare, raw exploration of growth’s darker, more alien aspects. It’s a reminder that beauty often coexists with chaos and discomfort, as new life emerges from destruction and disorder.
