Jo Bradney-Carbon Footprints

  22"x30" Charcoal & pastel drawing
What Jo Bradney is showing with her Carbon Footprints charcoal drawings is what we are what we eat, or in other words what we consume is who we are. I like how she uses her drawings to show that, its refreshing in a way because her drawings are dark with the deep colors she uses to show the message. I choose her because I like her drawings & the colors she uses. The way Jo Bradney's drawings relate to drawing is the value she shows in her drawings with the different values of the grays, blacks, purple, ect.
 




"As I stroke the soft charcoal across the paper, enveloping the artifact, the image forms where the charcoal isn’t. A footprint in the dust. Fragments of faded pastel, like a hand-colored photograph, speak of times past."
