Drawing, Gouache on Paper
Size: 23 W x 30 H x 0.1 D in
This body of work, gouache drawings on paper, originally comes from sculpture. The drawings range in size from 9x12 to 50x50 inches (22x30 to 142x127 cm). I use gouache as a means to work with color and form, which in turn becomes a language of figuration and abstraction. Figuration can draw abstraction alongside like a wake. Through them both I navigate the erotic nature of space through drawing. I push a sense of the figure deeply into abstraction, tying them together and pushing them apart. As I do so, looking becomes a matter of culling out a form, and that form has to inspire physical empathy and curiosity. I work with color and layers of white within a spectrum of veiling and opacity, erasure and solid volume. There are aqueous shapes that stand alone or butt up against each other, drowned in white. They are my way of mobilizing and rallying, rousing and convening my steadfast interest in the palpable yet hard to parse relationship between the body and space.
