I dare say, I know who is on the midnight call.

It isn’t you, although sometimes I wish that were true.

It’s always me. I’m the one who keeps myself awake and cannot seem to shake: the dreams, the whispers, the fears. Why are they always so near?

I guess the frenzy is who I am.

My ideas and dreams are born out of the midnight call, so its always worth it all.

Midnight Call is the most visually dramatic cotton rag work in the ‘Raw’ series. The piece packs a punch with it’s black background and bright blue pastel marks. Despite this 8.5” x 11.5” pastel, acrylic, and watercolor piece’s vibrancy, there is something elegant about its presence. This approachability is the beauty of within the chaos, the calm within the frenzy. This high energy work’s dots keep the eye moving up and down across the paper. This movement suggests the energy of the sleepless midnight hour, as our thoughts often move quickly in the race to peace. This work finds value in this race and beauty within this desperation. The bright blue marks celebrate the creativity that comes out of such lonely passionate moments.

This cotton paper is beautifully layered with cotton fragments intertwined within its fabric. You will find many imperfections in this black paper’s fabric, which adds to its natural character.
