Circling Back - Body Drawing 9.17.07


I recently started a series of "Body Drawings," (Fall '07) that I make on the computer. All are 5" x 7." The drawings are digitally reproduced onto archival paper, drawn back into with ink, and encased in wax. I have been seeing more activity on my blog http://bodydraw.blogspot.com, which, to be honest, has me interested in them again. I title the drawings by the day in which I do them. It's part of the "serial" "surrendering to technology" aspect to this making this work. Ultimately, I see these drawings being translated into large scale works as both "devotional" and "effigial" to a bygone era.

PROCESS:
I usually listen to some classic rock music (Zeppelin, ACDC, OZZY) with my headphones on and channel the music through my body, into my hand through the mouse, and ultimately into the computer to be digitally translated and put back out into the world again.
