Langdon Graves creates drawings and sculptures with a slightly unsettling knack for blurring the line between the imagined and the physical - her approach leave more room for the viewers to leave wondering. I like her drawings a lot better than her sculptures. Her drawing's seem to be more personal and i can really connect easier to his drawings. They are very detailed and vivid - she uses sharp detail and since they are all in black and white it makes them stand out more. Plus, not all of them are "reality" some of the drawings that she has done are ones that you would never see. Her drawings are very poetic and almost always in black and white though there are a few with a tint of pink or yellow. I like that she uses her own style: a soft mood and detailed works that are very eye catching pieces.
This photo was catching to my eye because as you can see her hand behind her back she is crossing her fingers. Since you can only see the back of her and her hand you question what she is crossing her fingers for.. Is she crossing them for luck, crossing them by pinky promising something, but crossing your fingers. Its along the saying.."
Pinky Promise..? No Cross's Count" - I know that i did that when i was little and still do so i think that, that is why this photo caught my eye.
This was a photo that i also had so many questions running through my head when looking at it - you see that it is a male, he has his shirt off and you can tell that he is in pretty good shape. You see his fingers almost like digging into his chest.. So, i ask myself - "Is he angry?" "Did he get his heart broken?" "He is hurting inside from a loved one lost?" But all these questions aren't just there because of his hand, you can also tell by the expression on his face - its very blank and he is looking down almost in grieve or depression.
This isn't much of a picture, but it could have a bold meaning. You look at it and you see a one side of a man's face- just one ear, and one eye, and a little piece of his hair and with glasses on. I wonder why just one side is showing complete detail and not the other side. The other eye piece on the glasses has a red/pink tint to it. I wonder if that side of the face isn't showing is because he is a ashamed, more maybe there is something such as a scare or burn on that side of the face that he doesn't want to show.

the abstract image you are describing, i doubt it is because he has a scar or ashamed to show that. It's simply saying that this person is a creative and showing his right side of the brain which is responsible for arts and creation instead of the left side. The Red tint is showing that the left side of the brain is not completely forgotten, meaning that this person still seeks guidance from his left side of the brain which represents "logic".
