The early aviators like Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Charles Lindbergh and Antoine de Saint-Exupery often wrote about their long flights and a chasm or a gap that became tangible to them as they flew through the sky. These gaps could be disorienting but quickly shifted into moments when life and all of its complexities came into sharp focus. Their gaps existed between moments of certainty and understanding of time and space

These colored pencil drawings visualize an atmospheric gap from a grounded vantage point. They may be open spaces between day and night, a moment of transition in weather and atmosphere, color and light or flashes of neon sunlight seen in the periphery. These are atmospheric spaces full of possibility.
