New York 1974 Drawing

Beside a constant study, oriented in parallel to the stylistic experimentation and the technical improvement, I have always wanted to preserve a space without any excessive use of technology. As a monastery,inaccessible and independent, where it’s admitted only what it’s produced with one’s own strength. In this ideal space, I have only a pencil that tries to challenge my abilities day by day: with it, I reduce the expressive possibilities, trying to belong to the whole humanity, with no distinctions. Because in every house there’s a pencil or an other instrument that leaves a mark: in an isolated village of the contemporary China, as in Wang Bing’s representations, or in New York, capital city and point of reference of the modern society. In this way, the pencil becomes the most democratic instrument because, using it, it can be shown to everyone the life we’re going through, with intensity. Bio on http://barbarabright.com/Bio.html
