As David Welker turns the corner out of another Winter in the Northeast he has found himself drawing to balance the intensity of the slower process of painting again. One of the pieces that came out during this graphite flurry was a solitary figure standing over a frozen river. The drawing itself is a jumble of scratchy, gestural marks that almost appears abstract from certain angles. It's a symbolic moment of contemplation and crossroads in the wilderness. The land between the great continental watersheds where an explorer of a time long ago would come upon a river that flowed to a different ocean than the one he came from.
