This drawing was the centerpiece for Trosino's exhibition, Silentry, held at Adrian College's Heritage Gallery in 2008. "After three years of working with silence, both forced and encouraged, I ironically began this drawing while waiting to be picked up at a busy airport in Kentucky. I found the timing and place to be completely contradictory to the drawing itself-something that continues to surprise me to this day. Originally, this was meant to be a tree, but later it evolved as a root....a root in space where all is simultaneously quiet and active...internally and externally, absent from and of this world...beyond this world and into others. This drawing is the culmination of the working silence evolving into a catalyst for a whole new way of creating and being. It is a process that all of us, on some level, undergo many times in our lifetimes."
