Drawing, Graphite on Paper
Size: 9 W x 12 H x 0.1 D in
I like to work and rework a drawing for a long while, erasing, drawing again, taking things in a new direction, being intuitive. I want viewers to see not only the final product but visual indicators of the process. These sorts of drawings play with the ideas of product and process. They destroy form and recreate it. I never begin with a plan. The act of drawing becomes the plan.

Artist Statement By Troy Headrick (troyheadrick@gmail.com) My artist’s statement is likely not going to look like other such statements because I’m not your typical artist. I grew up poor and lived for a time as a squatter in an abandoned building. I was always a smart kid which allowed me to get a BA, MA, and almost all of a PhD, studying liberal arts courses, at really good universities. I then used that education to travel the world and live outside America, in some pretty exotic locations, for about twenty years. During my years abroad, I experienced (and survived) earthquakes, revolutions, and military coups. All that shaped the person and artist I currently am. My father was an artist, so I guess I got my desire and skill while watching him as a young child. That’s about the extent of my training. In the world of art jargon, I’d be called “self-taught.” I had a few shows as a child and sold lots of work. As an older person, I have showed and sold art in America and other countries. As an adult, I advertised myself as an “outsider artist” and had lots of success. Today, I’m more interested in challenging the idea that art is for the elites. I often use found cardboard and other “trash” as a way of being both a responsible global citizen and to challenge the notion about what art is and can be. Because I am also an academician, I am attracted to the notions of “process” and “product.” I like to destroy things and reconstitute them, perhaps in some new and surprising way. I don’t want to make “pretty” pieces. I want to make art that surprises, challenges, and even startles.
