This is a morbid drawing of a creature attacking a bird perched on a thorny rose bush. I used printed images of ink drawings, which are the skull, bird, ribs, talon, and roses. Parts of the images were removed and glued onto the drawing paper. Then, I drew the rest of them using an ink and brush pen.

Stop and Think:
What is “artistic voice”? What is a sense of place? In a globalized world, is a sense of place a desirable attribute for a work of art?
An artistic voice refers to the unique and expressive ways through which artists communicate their perspectives, emotions, and experiences in their work. A sense of place refers to how individuals perceive and experience a specific environment or location. In conclusion, an artistic voice and a sense of place are both connected by shaping an artist’s creative expressions. In a globalized world, a sense of place is a desirable attribute for a work of art because it can enhance our understanding of the world around us.
