DRAWING, FOR ME IS A VISUAL NVESTIGATION.
A still life need not be a vase of lowers or anything you might see in art history. Make your own history.
I have always felt very connected to the natural and drawing is a good way for me to record that passion.
As this drawing progressed I found myself wanting to add many more things…including something that was not in the natural world. That ended up being marbles and a spark plug. I cannot explain way I draw some things, it just seems right. I guess I would be worried if it all made too much sense.
THE FINISHED DRAWING
After many additions the space was filled with objects that somehow seemed right. Some things are obvious such as a maple leaf being somewhat feather like and yet the beginning of a tree, other things sort of fit, like a marble being a little like an egg and others just need to be there, I have no idea why.
