F Minor I and II
Two large-scale ink drawings rendered in bold, expressive linework depict fragmented and layered human figures that appear simultaneously ancient and modern, evoking a sense of mythological ruin. Monahan's frenetic mark-making builds dense, gestural forms that seem to collapse and regenerate across the two-part composition, suggesting themes of mortality, transformation, and the weight of the body. The diptych format amplifies a mournful, searching tension, its title's musical reference hinting at the minor-key emotional register that runs throughout the work.
