Below is a photograph of my own drawing produced in the drawing workshop. We had to contrust a drawing "tool" using anything we wanted and garden sticks. I chose to tightly bound 10 biros onto the end of a garden stick and at arms length create drawings on A1 paper. After a few tries this was the outcome:
I am very pleased with the result, I would never have produced such a drawing had I not attended the workshop and it has opened my eyes to the versitility of tools that you can actually use to draw with. I am keeping this tool for future use!
After our drawing task last week I have looked at "Topologies" by Ann Wilson.
Having been to one of her lectures I feel that I understand her work quite well. She uses mainly black lace and pint to construct these "drawings" onto table tops. She has collected the lace from all over the world, a few she listed in the lecter were:
London
San Fran Sisco
Belgia
France
She has even collected lace from lengerie. She will contrust the Topologies on a table top on site of the exhibition, so each time she moves the work it will change. I found this collection surprisingly relevant to my own drawing in terms of linear qualities. I also believe it to connect on another level. If I tried to reproduce my own drawing, it would not be an exact replica, similar to the way that Topologies changes each time as it is constructed.
