About the Artwork:
“‘Home Security’ was created using colored pencils on yellow paper. By building up the image using small strokes, the background color is allowed to show through and create an interplay between the paper and the colors added on top. The drawing is an exploration of what it means to create a home for oneself. I often use animals as allegorical stand-ins for human emotions and problems, providing an alternate lens through which to view a particular situation. Having moved several times in the past few years, from Seattle to New Zealand to New York, the question of what makes a good home has been on my mind for some time now. For me, Home Security is about taking an inhospitable environment and viewing it as a sanctuary.” – Brian Britigan
