(Pardon the sound of my breast pump in the first video.) It’s been four years since I started drawing and painting regularly. To see what I could learn from how my work and processes have changed during that time, I pulled out my first sketchbook (video one). I found a lot to be as I expected—work that is overwrought, or where I didn’t commit at all (likely out of fear of failure or lack of time), a hesitancy, and an over-reliance on line. I also found things that surprised me, and which have remained in my work throughout the ensuing years. I have continued to be preoccupied with domestic space, mostly outside my sketchbooks, and with the ways shadow can convey mental state. To illustrate these points, I brought out a sketchbook I haven’t toured here from this year (video two). I hope you enjoy watching. Happy New Year.
