One Word Poems II: Heather Brammeier

Fragile (Brammeier), 2020
Archival pigment print, ink, and vellum
11 x 14 inches

Before I was her painting student, I was an overconfident 19 year old in her drawing class doing snarky projects (draw popcorn? I’ll take this photo eating popcorn and say I’m “drawing with light” instead). Time passes and I’m lucky enough to to call her friend, and now collaborator!

The work in the foreground is a cropped section of a 2008 painting by Heather, Dark Sun.

One Word Poems II uses an artwork and a word provided by some of my favorite artist friends. The original series featured words I’ve been called in my life, this series turns the tables and the collab artist gave me a word they’ve been called 🗯
