"View into the Fertile Country"
The drawings included in View into the Fertile Country are among the first Duennebier is presenting as final works. The starkness of black and white ink on tan paper highlights the immediacy and nakedness of Duennebier's mark making. While painting presents endless opportunities for revision, for Duennebier "there's no place to hide in drawing. When a line is there, it's there...no turning back." Duennebier's drive to challenge herself artistically is revealed through the environments she composes with her meticulous imagery.
