Submission Drawing

All That’s Left & Intimate Spectacle

A pair of drawings by Alyson Petruncio inspecting innate fears and slow realizations behind mortality. All That's Left (left - colored pencil, pen, acrylic marker) reflects how death is often covered with color and comfort, holding onto fragments of identity to make loss feel less empty. It points to the nature of death as a helpless joke, something stripped of dignity, and consequently terrifying. Intimate Spectacle (right - colored pencil) holds onto those same concepts but places the viewer in the position of the ‘roadkill’, experiencing humiliation, a strange peace, a quiet sense of smallness.
