pastel on paper, 31 x 42cms
I’ve been working on these new drawings for
Park View Art Gallery in the last few evenings. It has been an intense week,
with an Ofsted visit at work, so lots of pressure, and trying to do these in
those circumstances has been difficult. I’ve made about eight so far, trying
not to think too much about it, and not sure if I liked them at all, but with
the last couple I think some things are beginning to shape up. The more I do,
the more able I feel to begin to make decisions about what I do and don’t like in
the imagery, but also how to manipulate the media, in this case pastel, more
successfully. Some of them are quite small, which are the ones I like working
on best. I enjoy the intimacy of working on this scale., and things become more
simplified, but they are complicated little drawings to deal with.

Of course, the gallery may not like them,
but I can’t think about those issues….
