One of the few drawings I have a proper photograph of:
This was made as I stood apart from the paper with my arm outstretched and my pencil point barely touching the surface. With my eyes closed, I attempted to continuously mark the center of the page for about 30 minutes. You can see the path my hand takes as it weakens over time. The piece is about defining and recording three-dimensional spatial relationships through a two-dimensional drawing.
a camera obscura i built in my bedroom. this photo was shot in the late afternoon. i had a lens made by a local optician, blacked out the window with cardboard and cut an opening in it to fit the lens. the scene from outside is inverted and projected inside.
I am working on a school project. I'm not yet really keen on what i am exploring or to say what i am building. The transformation of an identity from "healthy" to disturbed or mentally ill. A kind of force to let go of the kind of definition an identity holds. A battle we all fight in. I think there is something truly beautiful and unrestrained to form another kind of subversive identity. Though my research has digged itself into the psychosis es of schizophrenia and the transformation to an unreal world is not aimed intentionally. I'm just writing from my stream of consciousness right now. Maybe It's all about the fine line between healthy and ill..
I'm not really feeling my work right now. It does feel a little convenient and not very cohesive. I'm just kind of scraping to understand where I'm going.
^I quite like it
Schizophrenia or health doesn't really come into mind for me when I look at it, I think more of themes along history and shame. Which I guess can somehow be skewed to relate to the identity thing?
I have the same process of making the work before the concept, just say your work ethic is "intuitive" and people will smile and nod.
^Nice painting, I like how the color choice makes it look a bit like a heat detecting photograph. Also, sistersuzie, I love your knits! Music is so ephemeral I'm often jealous of those who can make palpable things.
