experiment
in the studio : June 2012
Last week I finally got back into the studio. I wasn't feeling like I would be productive but, something happened and I began experimenting with a new drawing that in a relative of the sounding series. I'm not sure this is the language for the whole series but I have found some new interactions that need more investigation. I only made one drawing. It took me more than 8 hours. Will I make more or make something different? Not sure yet.
The first draw of white matte undercoat.
I used a plastic putty knife to drag a thin layer a skin of sorts in a long stripe. The sheet is Yupo. That means anything applied to the surface must air dry. That can take a considerable amount of time. I was pleased with the variation of the white paint. The translucency is perfect for the metaphor of sounding.
