THIS IS WHAT I SEE collection of drawings 2009//2013
THIS IS WHAT I SEE THIS BOOKLET IS A COLLECTION OF DRAWINGS i made SINCE I STARTED COLLEGE. DRAWING HAS BEEN MY PASSION AS LONG AS i CAN REMEMBER, BUT IT BECAME MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. WHEN i FIRST MOVED TO THE US IN AUGUST 2009, i had hard time expressing my thoughts AND MY VISION, as my english vocabulary was very limited. it was extremely frustrating and i had to look for new ways to communicate my ideas. my drawings became then like silent words that allowed me to dialogue with others overcoming the language barrier. I selected here some of my sketches as well as some of my more complex and detailed work. HOPE YOU ENJOY ! laura colagrande
