DRAWINGS

In this series of drawings in oil pastel on rag paper, the cliff is a metaphor for the fragility of life.

Most of us live on the edge. At any moment, all could collapse, as could a cliff crumble.

In these large drawings, the figurative elements depict life’s dramas, frailties and passions as well as subtler internal, sexual and psychological manifestations. Marinoff allows herself total freedom in this creative process. After each work is completed, she often discovers that her traumas and joys have exhibited themselves within the drawings.
