On Standing Still

In another, upgraded timeline, I would have a better job and a nicer apartment, and this drawing—"The weight of absence" by Erin Fostel—would be in my living room hanging above my piano.

If you should find yourself in Baltimore between now and February 4th, please take the time to visit Standing Still, a solo exhibition of charcoal and graphite pieces by Ms. Fostel. Trust me when I say that online images of these works don’t do them justice— you would be easily forgiven for thinking the above image was a photograph, but no. And standing before it, the intense level of detail and precision, not to mention the range of shading affected by one hand and one medium, is breathtaking. It’s reality with an extra shot of emotion, the familiar rendered remarkable. Don’t miss it.
