Pencil Drawing Time Lapse Honey
A time lapse from the studio. Hope you enjoy it Over the past two years, Ive felt so caught up in trying to produce work that means something, that has depth and isnt simply decorative. Previously, I had enjoyed the challenge of trying to merge thought and image, but recently I have found myself trapped by concepts. I worried the themes I had been exploring were beginning to feel limiting, like I had worn them out. I had forgotten how it felt to play, and my work was beginning to feel stagnant. With this drawing, I rediscovered a very simple joy in making. To make without pressure, to make differently, and without the weight of meaning or substance. Meaning came later as the drawing came into focus so too did its conceptual intrigue. But for me this piece is less about ideas than it is a rediscovery of the pleasure in creating. I have always loved drawing eyes, and used to draw one every year to mark my progress. After a twoyear pause, Im happy to return to the habit.
