ARTIST STATEMENT
A LASTING IMPRESSION SERIES. INK & CHARCOAL ON DIGITAL CANVAS. 2024.
An academic capstone series of twenty illustrations detailing personally memorable scenes across four films: Steven Spielberg’s Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and his iconic Jaws, Chad Stahelski’s John Wick: Chapter 4, and Sam Mendes’ 1917. Each scene was selected based on its lasting impression and rendered with visual elements as a stylistic life drawing using digital ink and charcoal. In addition to this medium of choice, it was an artistic decision to use monochrome colors throughout the project, with some exceptions, to keep cohesion.
