Betrothed: the person to whom one is engaged.

 

Betrothed is a series of twenty color pencil portrait drawings on the theme of marriage. A fictional wedding party is gathered to take part in the ceremony. A cast of imaginary and disparate characters are placed side by side in a case made specifically for the series.

 

Some of the group are what one would expect in a wedding like a bridesmaid, a bachelor, a florist and a priest, but others are not so expected, like a prisoner and his accuser, and a caregiver and a patient.
