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 a mug turning in someone’s hand. One side of the image disappearing as another emerges adds a small sense of time to the portrait; I consider its placement through that turn.
How the drawing works on this product
The curved mug surface changes how the drawing is seen. A front view can show only part of the printed area, while the handle fixes the way the object is held. Use the Etsy photographs to compare the visible design on each side rather than assuming a full wraparound print.
