A Good Idea

78.5 x 78.5 inches, colored pencil and graphite on paper

This work was my attempt to connect patterns of the past, present and future. I began with past disasters, connected them to current events, famous speeches, technological innovations, etc., and ended with predictions of the future. I tried to connect the information via the language that was used to describe the event – the last word or letter of a disaster from 1951 led me to the first word of another disaster from 1981.
