The Luster Drawing series explores ideas of community, fragility and individual worth. By drawing very simple representations of shelter onto fragments or draped gestural pieces of porcelain using precious metals, there is an assertion of value both in the humility of the drawings and the gestural forms they are drawn onto. In the choice to hand-draw onto each piece as opposed to using a transfer print, there is a further suggestion of individual worth, and the importance of each simple mark - and by extension each individual - through this time and labor-intensive process.
