Osceola Mine Shaft #3

Part of the *Keweenaw Peninsula Figure Studies (2025 - Ongoing)* collection, *Osceola Mine Shaft #3* explores the striking juxtaposition between the vulnerability of the human form and the decaying grandeur of industrial history. Suspended beneath the towering, weathered ruins of the historic mining site, the figure serves as a living counterpoint to the cold concrete and iron slowly being reclaimed by nature. This high-contrast black-and-white study captures a raw, evocative dialogue between the temporal nature of humanity and the enduring relics of the region's copper mining past.
