Artwork Collection

01 For Jurying Consideration

A collection of Drummond's artworks from her thesis "Affirmations" which brings a relatable awkwardness to mindfulness practices that are encouraged but are rarely helpful to a chronically uncomfortable twenty-something girl, illustrating these affirmations through playfully gross abstractions and folk art elements are meant to normalize and shed light on these feelings and experiences that are often ignored or seen as taboo.
