Behind her, reflections multiply — arms, hands, and faces echoing back in a fragmented loop that suggests repetition, or performance. The mirrored space is warm with yellow tones, yet the energy is internal. The handwritten caption reads: “I’m aware of what the intention is.” — a sentence that hums with self-possession. It could be resignation. Or a warning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade with Prismacolor pencil, ink, graphite and acrylic on Bristol paper, the drawing uses flat color planes and soft grain to conjure the feeling of a memory already fading. The layered reflections feel like a nod to Cushenberry’s photographic roots — less about technical realism, more about psychological realism. The framing device, mimicking a Polaroid with its brush-painted white border and handwritten caption, turns the piece into a keepsake, or a note passed between friends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePart of a larger body of work exploring intimacy, identity, and quiet resistance, this drawing is a small-scale study in self-awareness. It’s about being looked at — and choosing how to be seen. Signed on the reverse, with tactile signs of its handmade process — light smudges, pigment drag, and the occasional imperfection that makes it feel all the more real.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eObject: Original drawing on Bristol paper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTitle: “I’m aware of what the intention is.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ Author: Edward Cushenberry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDate: 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTechnique \/ Method: Prismacolor pencil, ink, graphite, and acrylic paint\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Bristol paper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: Unique\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSigned: Yes, on reverse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: 10.8 × 8.9 cm (4.25 × 3.50 in)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: Excellent, with visible surface textures and pigment layers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProvenance: Darwin Collection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52345838666066,"sku":null,"price":160.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/DSC4476_b962855d-1e76-4851-b569-d5d70bc1856b.jpg?v=1767988872","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/i-m-aware-of-what-the-intention-is-prismacolor-acrylic-polaroid-drawing","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
