The collaborative work of 14 artists, photo by Joe MacGown

 

This incredible collaborative drawing will be part of the LUSO-American Surrealism of the 21st Century exhibition open now at the Cullis Wade Depot Gallery at Mississippi State University. I am very excited to have contributed to this project. I really think it is a brilliant concept, the outcome is incredible and it was a real joy to work on.

The above drawing is part of The Antipodes Project, started by Washington DC artist Ben Tolman and continued by Joe MacGown. Artists who contributed to this large piece are Joe A. MacGown, Ben Tolman, Joseph H. MacGown, Julianne MacGown, Chloe Marsters, Marnie Pitts (me), Otto Rapp, Paulo Cunha, Pizo Meyer, Ryan Thornburg, Zachary Nolin, Marcel Bakker, Deborah Valentine, and Alex Bostic. This drawing is one of four large pieces made for this collaborative endeavor. More information on the group page https://www.facebook.com/groups/417925438379842/?fref=ts
