Correspondence is an ongoing drawing project between artist Karin Schaefer and me, begun in 2012. After years of living on different continents we sought a way to stay in touch, and created a weekly conversation through the act of drawing - to each other - the drawings becoming the tool for communication across continents and time zones. The drawings are emailed and each one is a response to the previous one. Expressed only through line, color and form, a consistent vocabulary has emerged, a formal language of communication. There is no discussion, only the drawings.
This is the complete series — every other drawing starting with the first one is Kristen’s (KP); every other starting with the second is Karin’s (KS). Each drawing a direct response to the previous drawing.
