  • The quiet presence of the covered and tied up Pawn.
    Is it a prisoner?
    Or a body wrapped in a shroud?
    Is it hiding from the pieces of other pawns adjacent?

    With the simple means of oil and crayon, the detail of the fabric and the pawns appear quite real.
    The image is included within the drawn frame. A window into another reality.
