Drawing and photography are central to my practice. Both make pressing - if sometimes fictitious - claims to the capture of lost moments.

Practicing

Still practicing getting the hang of drawing on a graphics tablet - beginning to see that the options are infinite, from something that really simulates the material sketchbook (pen and ink is particularly 'realistic') to an idiom that is more obviously digital and combines the photographic with the graphic. Exciting! Of course a lot also depends on the software...

Slow skills, old times: for M

Back to trying to acquire some new skills on the Wacom (graphic tablet) and still working with old photographs...  this is quite hard!!!

From the archive: presentiment


is that long shadow on the lawn
Indicative that suns go down;
The notice to the startled grass
That darkness is about to pass.

Bloody hell... (à la recherche 21)

Early days yet of experiments with graphic tablet, and I still haven't remotely got the hang of it - would take me a quarter the time to do a freehand drawing. Why bother? Not quite sure - I trust in the inspirational capacities of changing the variables, I love technology, I love drawing - why not bring all those things together? Hmmm....
