Curt Harbits “The Waters Comforting Black” graphite, charcoal, cut paper collage

Artist Statement:
The idea that we could all be “walled in”, trapped in muck and mire, is slowly appearing all too real. It’s frightening to think there is a vast majority of people who are either okay with this, or, are terrifyingly asleep at the wheel. As artists in a free society, it is our duty to raise awareness, to question, and peek out from behind the smoke and mirrors.
