Woot!! We made it till the end!
Here’s my final montage, from weeks 51 and 52 for the Hello Every Sunday project: one year of drawing daily.
Priya called HES “the monster that we had to feed” (and I agreed), for it was so time consuming. We should’ve spent 15-20 minutes each day to draw, but invested further.
The project statement started with “a daily drawing” but was quickly edited to “drawing daily”, since we put a lot of time in this project. Over time, we strangely switched our favorite mediums: ink and charcoal. We also had a one year interruption, due to a passing that led to big changes in our lives.
What else can I reflect on this one year project…
- I’m not so good at reflecting.
- Well, I can creates (small) UNIVERSES! ;-)
- I really enjoy embossing paper before working with charcoal and pastel (Priya’s influence) and it translated into my work with clay, mishima and other techniques alike.
- I’m more confused than ever between my love of black and white and my affair with color.
- One of my art teachers in college told me I should add landscapes to my paintings. That comment had the unfortunate effect of me overlooking them for decades. I explored this for a few weeks during this project and had fun doing it. Well look at that.
- Finally, even if HES drove me mad at times, it was fulfilling on the long run.
