Dirt Road Drawings & Other Works

Exhibit by Kerri Rosenstein

Each group of work follows an inquiry of infinite possibilities – an ongoing process of responding to impermanence, interdependence, and fine lines between inner and outer experience. A temperament of generosity and intimacy informs the work with a sense of going-on-ness.

Artist Statement

I am drawn to repetitive motion and the cyclic nature of things without distinct beginning and end. From finding my bearings through drawing each part of inhabited spaces, to mapping dirt roads in and out of protected and unprotected wild places, to translating writings about climate change into constellation drawings, to storied weavings that honor tending and new becoming. The inherent labor of each generates a felt sense of attentive rootedness and paths for wayfinding.
