She Was Swathed in Sorrow

Ink on paper, 2006 by Dean Kuhta.

Notecard size: 5 x 7 inches (white envelope included)

This is an ink drawing that I completed in 2006 as a collaboration with my friend Benjamin Jungbluth. I get asked all the time what this drawing is supposed to mean. Who knows!? Like any piece of good artwork, the meaning is what you make it. Over the years I've seen all kinds of reactions to this specific drawing. Sadness, amazement toward the drawing style, and even disgust. In my opinion, that's the purpose of art. To evoke an emotion that is relative to your own experience. Also, please don't ask me what that thing is coming out of the water. I don't know!
