Stephanie Strange Portfolio Box
Hidden Graphite Story, 2024, $3000
"Portfolio Box 2025 is the hidden story of exploring graphite in the pages of my sketchbooks. I have selected 10 iconic representations of graphite processes that span over two decades and twenty plus books of recording creative ideas. Each drawing depicts an example of examining new ways to use graphite and is accompanied with a handwritten message sharing stories of origin. They highlight the discovering of how the combination of the medium, technique, process and paper flow organically into the expression of meaningful symbolism to complete an art work. Inspired by the pages of my sketch books this collection of drawings forms a narrative that maps a journey of expanding creation via exploration." ~Stephanie Strange
