Artist Elizabeth Patterson‘s hyperreal pencil drawings of rainy windshields.

Pencil drawings.

Each one is inspired by of several of her own photographs but the finished pieces are considerably more detailed, immediate and dramatic than the source material.

More of her work can be seen at her website, and also here.

The lesson I had learned from society up to that point was that this behaviour was something that had to be endured. I could fill this entire column with unpleasant anecdotes. Before you roll your eyes, and mutter that I have simply been unfortunate, managing to encounter every deviant in Ireland, understand one thing: my experiences are not uncommon. If anything, they are the norm. I recently raised this subject with a number of female friends and every single woman had a story to tell of sexist abuse and assault. Tellingly, no one used the word assault and no one had ever reported a single instance of abuse.
