For the drawings/prints I have done, I’ve drawn them from photographs I’ve taken instead of drawing them directly from sight. The camera lens distorts the image it captures. Another thing that occurs in the drawings is human error. I copy the photos and get angles slightly wrong, but it’s not noticeable in the first glance, this plays with the idea of the uncanny: familiarity and unfamiliarity of the domestic space I’m trying to draw. I’m interested in the type of uncanniness that’s subtle, like a gut feeling that the place isn’t quite right but one can’t put their finger on it.

I pushed the idea to the extreme on the last image, which I find takes that process of natural human error away because it’s a deliberate action

Why the process of human error is important

Human error is what the psychoanalysts and surrealists were looking at in investigating the subconscious. Freudian slips, automatism, association and games like the exquisite corpse were looking into lapses that created something new in the process.
