Known for her intricate abstract paintings, five years ago Bay Area–artist Sollins began making charcoal drawings of her possessions. Reverting to a medium she was taught years ago in her first art classes, Sollins draws with the softest charcoal possible so that the dust falls in shadows. She depicts articles ranging from her grandmother’s cast iron doorstop to her own underwear and jewelry.
