After an intense and anxious vision, ‚both geographic and artistic‘, Jeremy
\nCollins commenced on a four-year journey, travelling in the four cardinal
\ndirections – north, south, east, west – to create art, climb new routes, and
\n‚live out his own map‘.<\/p>\n
But Collins is not an untethered lone wolf climber. He lives in Kansas City,
\nwith his wife and two children. While climbing, he often asks himself: ‚Why am
\nI here on this mountain instead of with them?‘ His answer is gradually
\nrevealed in Drawn, an intimate visual exploration of how one reconciles
\nfamily, career, and personal passion.<\/p>\n
Collins chronicles ambitious first ascents in the United States, China,
\nVenezuela, and Canada with climbing partners including James Q Martin, Mark
\nJenkins, Pat Goodman, Tommy Caldwell and Mikey Schaefer. At the same time,
\nthis contemplative dad shares his dreams and desires, and always finds a route
\nback to his family.<\/p>\n
Collins’s art is among the most influential in the world of climbing and is a
\nrich and textured mixed media of pencil, charcoal, watercolour, torn paper,
\nand photographs. Drawn features pages from the sketchbooks he kept on these
\nclimbs with hand-written text. The hardback book includes 2 postcards created
\nby author.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
