I’ve been thinking about how to use drawing in my practice again. Personally speaking, mark making for its own sake isn’t enough. There has to be some real intention/ point to it.
Looking back over the ideas and projects I have on the go, I’ve decide to incorporate drawing somehow. It doesn’t matter though if the drawing doesn’t figure in the end result, it’s another way to discover and develop an idea.
The Stephen Fry image is a good place to start (see post 7). Originally, my intention was to photograph a re-enactment with a bear head. I’m still going to do this. But it might be more interesting to re-enact this image with a blind drawing, and feel what’s in front on me.
The black crow cuts a beautiful figure, this here is a half drawing. The best thing about it is that it’s not finished.
