From life to creative practice

From the studio: a creative reconstruction
A first-person creative reconstruction drawing on the biography and artworks.
Looking at a writer’s face, my mind drifts toward the edge of the text. I imagine library order, lines of code and a sentence escaping that order at the same table. I want to leave a little excess in the drawing, somewhere a reader or viewer can linger.
Working around Charles Bukowski Purple Portrait, my attention returns to this detail: Bukowski’s purple face meets a flat red background. Color contrast replaces a naturalistic skin tone. 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
A laptop sleeve puts the drawing on a portable protective format. Screen diagonal alone does not establish a computer’s external dimensions. Check the listing’s size chart against the width, height and thickness of the actual device, including any case fitted to it.
