the rip

April 19, 2009

I finally decided to post this silverpoint drawing - crappy photo, i know - after many days of deliberating whether it was finished or not. I think it is.

I spent a good long while working on this. The reference photo is a fantastic image by Lewis Hine. The point of this was to play with insubstantiality, whether i could draw people realistically but detract a wholeness from them. I don't know if this has been achieved, i guess that's up to the viewer but i enjoyed this immensely. It's the kind of work i've been yearning to do all year but have been persuaded into more 'experimental' styles. Wanky, pretentious, modern crap in other words
At this point in time i don't paint, i don't make films, i don't sculpt, i draw and that's just fine.

Anyhow, point made, this is the image i'm working on now. Probably not part of the final piece but a work towards it.

Oh, and i finished 'White Is For Witching'. It was kind of crap. Oh well.
