Archaeological Illustrations
During the summer of 2024, I traveled to Cyprus, working as an illustrator for an excavation of Hellenistic fortifications under the auspices of the Pyla-Koutsopetria Archaeological Project (PKAP).
I spent most of my time working on drawings in the Larnaka Archaeological Museum, where all of the PKAP finds are safely kept in labeled boxes. Holding each artifact in my gloved hand, I would rotate it under a lamp, examining subtle details, like scratches and carved patterns, and create 1:1 scale drawings for the project’s publications. Here is a more in-depth page if you’re curious to see more!
