Testings
I’ve been testing out a few different formats for the drawings: the black and white photo isn’t grassy enough though…so colour it is. I want it to be clear that it’s a drawing on a photo of some grass.
The size has been reduced to a tiny 10 by 15cms and I will print out as many as I can before my printer finally blows.
I’ve found a certain freedom already in the mark making process and it would be great if I could produce 100 drawings on the day. I’ve surprised myself because these are gestural marks, not meant to be anything other than filling a very small page.
I can relate to Marion Michell’s comment about the issue of re-approaching drawing and the problem of making the first mark. I think the constraints placed on this way of drawing has released me from the burden of any representational expectations.
