Ft. Lauderdale-based artist Christina Pettersson creates meticulous graphite drawings that linger in your mind — one especially haunting piece, last seen at the Scope art fair in December, depicts a person struggling inside a buried coffin. Her newest series makes plentiful use of negative space, portraying single rocks and bricks placed in the center of oversized sheets of paper. These would be rather drab without their back story: the artist, a lover of literature, grabbed the objects from famous writers' homes, wrapped them in blankets, and devotedly brought them home to exalt in her art.
