"With Drift, Catarina Leitão assembles a sequence of pen and ink drawings in which the detritus of modern civilization--fallen airplanes, helicopters, aluminum cans, and gas masks--are inundated by thick vein-like tendrils. Separated by hand-drawn frames, each drawing reads as a fragment from a larger graphic narrative set in some kind of futuristic junkyard."--from the CUNY catalog record
