The Elegant Drawing

“The Elegant” is part of the Reflection in Perspective collection that embodies how we see ourselves as well as the impact humans have had on the animal kingdom. The work is about the power of knowing oneself and the importance of reflection at every stage of our lives. The multitude of lines, whilst representing perspective itself also discuss the complexity of our inner selves and the various relationships we are tied to. The artwork incorporates a rich variety of creatures found on the planet and focuses on our connection to them. It is an entanglement of our souls as we work on sharing this planet. Each piece acknowledges the personalities and strengths that define these magnificent animals and the commonalities between us and them. The artist asks the viewer to look at the images as though looking in a mirror and seeing oneself. As the tallest mammal in the world, with their regal necks dominating, giraffes carry themselves with elegance. It is an effortless elegance. Like human fingerprints, no two giraffes have the same pattern on their coats. They are unique, as we like to consider ourselves. This work looks at a mother’s closeness to her young. Giraffes often return to where they were born to give birth and they carry their young for about fifteen months. The connection between a mother and her young is the focus of this piece, a bond that transcends species. It should be acknowledged for what it is, sacred. It should be respected. It should be nurtured. It should not be interfered with.
