These charcoal drawings by artist Harriet Rox Corbett explore the traditions of western life. The subject matter is contemporary, but the monochromatic images have an old-time feel. Using the most primitive of media—a stick of burnt wood—Rox uses bought tools, invented tools, and her fingers to work the charcoal into the paper. From the white of the paper to the warm and rich blacks that charcoal is capable of, she creates movement through texture, composition and contrast.
