I always wanted to develop one of my favorite forms from a live model. And after years and years of procrastinating, it finally happened.
First, with Dominic, during an open studio figure drawing session at the Art Xchange, and then, a week later, with Keeli at the Morean Art Center.
In both cases, the process took on a life of its own. I felt a physical struggle between falling into the expected routine of making something "representational," and what some mysterious part of me wanted to go after.
One part said, "We're in a figure drawing session; we'll work on the figure. That's what we're here for. That's what the whole tribe does."
The other one went, "Nope! We'll start with these straight lines. Never mind Dominic looking like Hercules. Yeah, he would be the perfect fit in any of the academies in Paris back in the day, but we won't worry
about that. Let's do some deconstructing and reconstructing."
