SELECTED DRAWINGS 1988

A drawing and especially a line is more than a walk in the park. Picasso, (He didn’t say this) while sketching the elements to be in the painting La Guernica. Those drawn elementary lines of the composition were drawn over and over and then onto the canvas with charcoal. Lines can be revolutionary. They produce mind bending novels in the form of letters. They are the cause of war when placed on a map. Agreements when the lines of a signature are placed above it and a love letter that crosses an ocean. Created from line.

A drawing can be a leisure of line, with no destination before, to relax the mind.

In these lines and drawing, I most always felt that I was taken upwards and forward into the moment and quickening flow of time, into the quest of my eye and the emotion and projection of the impression before me. It felt like flying. Fast.

A great pose is an explosion. A challenge and my clay chalk stick is ready. Can I interpret with these simple tools the magnificent light that enters my eyes, heart, mind and hand before it ends and changes? The more I tried, with each sheet of paper, the more amazing and thrilling the experience and insight as my hand became a guide to itself. I only had to touch the sheet of paper.
