Carol Bruns

In drawing I often begin by selecting a decisive moment from streaming dance videos, where the performers inspire me by enacting creative movement. After describing this stilled moment, I continue to improvise with formal inventions, merging with other specific contents such as political ideas, jokes, suffering, the irrational, experiential, ambiguous, emotional and theatrical. The drawn body engages in a voyage of imagination, spiritual and psychological discovery, uncovering some of its potentials for freedom in thought and feeling.
