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 Edgar Allan Poe, my attention returns to this detail: Poe’s face emerges from a blue-gray atmosphere. Dark clothing merges with the ground below the pale forehead. 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 unwritten sentences beside the cover. Placing the drawing on a notebook suggests that the image will become a neighbour to someone else’s notes.
How the drawing works on this product
The notebook places the portrait next to a writing surface. The spiral forms an extra edge beside the cover image, while dotted pages offer a different interior from ruled or blank paper. The cover illustration and the page layout are separate reasons to choose this format.
