Motivation, confidence...it's a struggle on all possible aspects

Title speaks for itself...rough week to say the least. critiques, critiques, critiques....sigh
This is what I've accomplished so far... (click photo to get a larger picture)
I needed a break from the above drawing so I started on the other one:

Then I needed a break from that and thus, a new drawing starts.

It all still needs a lot of work. To be continued....

prep work



"Cornered" each image is about 3 x 5 feet.

Working title: Figurative Imagery Evoking Sound

Here's some ideas I have been working on so far:

Title: Listen
Drawing attention to those moments when listening is crucial, heart breaking, or even euphoric...I wish to draw attention to these instances. Those moments in time when we open our ears.

Execution/materials: life size graphite drawings on Mylar

Work in detail:
1) To the ground: woman laying horizontally, ear to the floor
2) Cornered: woman huddled in corner, head bowed with hands over her ears
3) Distance: Man/Woman listening intently on a telephone

Notes/thoughts:
- abstract visual component?
- colour introduced on select portions of the drawings?
- projected light/image and/or project abstract video (colour)

Pictures from cell phone

Here are some photographs of the studio I'll be using during the next few months.

West wall: with cute easel East Wall: (forgot this wall in the original post)


South wall: Natural light! North wall:


Artist sink (why "artist" b/c it's gross -haha)

(Sorry about the bad photo quality - I forgot my camera on move day, so I used my camera phone - but you get the idea. I got some nice natural lighting. The ceiling fans and open windows made for a nice breeze t00!)
