WORK ON PAPER |
PERSONALS This series is titled “PERSONALS.” Each drawing conveys a thought that may be self-talk, or one side of an actual conversation. Figures are often drawn nude or partially clothed to emphasize the the feeling of intimacy. These drawings expose parts of converations that provoke thought. I invite viewers to imagine how these pieces fit into a point in time in a specific person’s life, and to think about similar experiences in their own lives. I am interested in reflecting the mood and feeling of our era. (Continued at bottom of page.)
These works are the result of drawing from life – an encounter with another human being – translated by hand with brush and ink. Depending on the model’s personality and mood, and the word message, marks are either refined and controlled or spontaneous and expressionistic. Poses and body types suggest social issues such as beliefs about ideal beauty, body image, age, sexuality, etc. These drawings suggest a voyeuristic society. One need only consider the popularity of “reality TV” as proof of this notion.
