From the studio: a creative reconstruction
A first-person creative reconstruction drawing on the biography and artworks.
I begin by circling the small irregularity that stops me in an image. Rather than explaining the whole thing immediately, I try increasing the weight of that detail. Putting another line beside an overly tidy area feels like letting the image speak again.
Working around Green Cactus in Terracotta Pot, my attention returns to this detail: A green cactus rises from a terracotta pot. Black outlines and loose surrounding marks keep the still life visibly drawn. In the next passage, I imagine pulling back anything that weakens that encounter and leaving the areas holding its tension open for longer.
I imagine the image travelling from one table to another. The face on a sleeve becomes part of an everyday object that opens and closes; I weigh its placement for those brief encounters.
How the drawing works on this product
