Elsewhere, elsewhere





























The sketches above are from a very surreal place called Elsewhere. Elsewhere is a place where artists from all over come and live for a couple of months. They create artwork that is inspired by the items within. When I first walked into Elsewhere, I was very overwhelmed. There was stuff EVERYWHERE. While looking around, a lot of childhood memories were brought to the surface of my mind. There were toys of all kinds, as well as miscellaneous items, stacked to the ceiling.
We went to this strange place a couple of different times, and each time something changed in the room. Elsewhere almost took on its own personality. This is the reason that some of my drawings have the same statue rabbit in them. I took the rabbit and moved it to different locations, which symbolize the ever-changing appearance of Elsewhere. All in all, this is a spectacular place and I cannot wait to go back!
