I took up fellow artist Imo Nse Imeh’s challenge to join him
in #MakeArt365 an effort to refocus artistically by resolving to create work every day. Personally,
I've taken this on as a challenge to make and post a complete work, most likely
a doodle or sketch every day. I’m glad
of a reason to refocus a little bit of my energy on drawing, neglected of late,
and hoping to regain some of the focus of my late tree stump project. I’m not
going to stick to a consistent theme, but the phrase ‘men as trees walking’ has
been on my mind. On one obvious level confusion of trees and people has been a
long standing theme in my work. Given my interest in visual cognition the line
always caught my attention because it seems to be making a distinction both cognitive
and spiritual between sight and vision. The pursuit of vision, and the trial of
seeing, but being incapable of understanding what is before you has weighed on
me of late. In any case I’m starting
with a fairly elaborate sketch, percolating for a while, but executed today.
