Projections is a series of sketches/drawings/paintings which are impressions of research talks I attended. As the name suggests, they are attempts to project my experiences of the talks onto a two-dimensional paper. These personal and impressionistic interpretations are inspired by the entirety of the presentation, including the content of the talks, the atmosphere in the room, the questions and comments from the audience, and the food served during the breaks.
I may occasionally tweet the sketches with a hashtag #kbprojections.
Select projections can be bought as prints on Society6.com: https://society6.com/kacabradonjic .
