Large scale drawing task deconstructed..


This WAS my large scale drawing, a combination of drawing skills explored during the drawing workshop sessions, inspired by my own theme. Last session we were asked to 'deconstruct' our large scale drawings bearing in mind the following terms:

to attatch, to puncture, to roll, of circles, to sew, to rip, to weave, to cut,
to knit, to perferate, to embellish, of layers, of edges, to fold, to slash, of multiples.

We were asked to use just one or two of the words, of which I chose weave, as this would link to my prior workshop option. I set to work by cutting my large scale drawings into thin strips, and by using my Fabriano paper roll I was able to contruct a new drawing.








After some experimentation I decided on how I would present my decontructed piece and I now prefer the drawing as it presently stands. My drawing has become a line drawing, having a stronger link back to my project. It is about the journey of a line, appearing and disappearing from sight. There are exciting movements of line where it actually leaps from the page in loops. I have taken this idea and developed it further both in my sketchbook and on bigger pieces of paper.
