Forgotten - print of drawing by Holly Hobbs

ARTIST STATEMENT: My aim for this graphite piece was to capture the atmospherical absence of human presence. I wanted to focus on how a scene can seem so lifeless and bleak despite the historical energy that it would have undoubtedly previously captured within the same architectural walls. Nature physically engorges these memories and the nostalgia that this greenhouse once contained. The result is a cold, almost eerie scene as the landscape waits for life to enlighten it once again. The artist was aged 17 when this piece was created.
