Wraps
Every now and then I get enough works of one theme to declare them part of a series. Working in series allows me to work on many small drawings rather than one large artwork, a method I prefer. Series work is also part of what I call the “studio narrative”, the process wherein one work suggests the possibility of others. Seeing series works together is a clue into the thought process of the artist, drawing the viewer into a more intimate relationship with the works. It is a great pleasure, as an artist, to be able to exhibit works in a series together, although that opportunity rarely occurs.
These works are all about the classic drapery study updated and disconnected and turned into an object. I like doing them because they are both challenging and beautiful.
All of these drawings are done in silverpoint, a medieval drawing medium that predates graphite, using soft metals to make marks on specially prepared papers.
