“Boundaries are re-assuring; they obscure exactly what exists over and under us at any given moment, and how visible space is intertwined with the non visible.” -Sarah Oppenheimer
I think there is a strong relationship between my drawings and my paintings; things are interconnected in many sense and though I feel that drawings from media as pen or pencils are good starting points , my paintings are in fact extensions/elaborations of my drawings. Even with cut-outs I feel some drawing is definitely taking place..
I feel very close to the process of the artist Abdelkader Benchamma on his recent stairwell installation at The Drawing Center. http://www.vulture.com/2015/05/see-the-birth-of-the-universe-in-soho.html
I have often felt I could just fill a room with a work. This can be so exciting. I can identify with what he says:
"I wanted the technique to be very simple,”
"In fact, it’s just line most of the time, line or point, or very large line and very small line, or making a line very, very fast, or making a line with a pen that doesn’t work.”
"The drawing is very detailed and precise, but it’s impossible to say what you’re looking at.”- This idea of being suggestive is wholesomely exciting (Is there a visual narrative storytelling taking place which could be interpreted and understood each time on a personal level?)
