Part of dealing with loss is the acknowledgement that there are some things that can never be recovered. In this non figurative self-performance, “I’m Sitting With You, but, You’re Not There”, Tawale investigates emotional responses of loss and regret through intuitive drawing. Wounded by loss the drawing stands in for the artist’s sense of emptiness, unable to recover from regrets of the past.
