For about a year, I've had this large charcoal drawing of clouds on one of my studio walls-and I mean that- it is drawn directly on the wall.
it's taking up a lot of space, but I can't seem to let the conversation go just yet- there is more to learn and something that is definitely keeping my attention. I'm also just enjoying the elegance of the thin, fragile lines overlapping one another. Recently, I've added a few smaller, cloud drawings on mylar next to the larger drawing- to start a conversation between the two. I'm enjoying this experiment. more to develop here.....
As a side note, I've been reading a lot about water policy and issues in the West and A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. The two, environmental writings and a children's series,` would not seem to be related, however in the eleventh book Snicket keeps repeating definitions of the water cycle for precipitation, evaporation/condensation and collection/storage. He does so in a humorous, though monotonous, way. The water cycle has definitely settled into mind as I explore clouds and water issues and the ephemeral nature of all.
